Letter Hon. Theophimjs Parsons,from L. L. D,
emiiient Laio Writer and Professor Law, in HarvardThe of University.
Cambridgk, November 9, 1857.
Sir — have looked over Book on PleadingDear I the you were good
.enough to send me, with great interest, from the beginning to the end.
Upon the general subject, I could not say what I think, without writing
an essay: but it may all be summed up in the principles you express so
and concisely on page 49. even more briefaccurately To be than you, I
would f-ay
1st. Common law pleading was a natural, rational and logical system
ofstatement and counter statement, for the purpose of exhibiting preciseh'
the actual issue, and eliminating every thing else.
2d. Its rules and forms, as they originally stood, were admirably
devised for this purpose.
?>d. Courts of law cannot do their proper work in a proper way, except-
ing l*y means of rules and forms, the same with those in essence and pur-
andpose, although they may be greatly simplified improved in manner
and phrase.
In my judgment, there never w:is a time when the diligent study of the
principles of special pleading would have been more profitable than it
would be now.
Your work seems me careful and learningto exact; it indicates and
consideration, and is thoroughly sy.'^tematic, and covers the whole ground
of pleading in i)orsonal actions. I hope it will be studied beyond the pre-
cincts of your own state.
Very resj)(;ctfully, <fec.
