London. 1840. In Law Library. '—. The Elements of Pleas in Equity, with precedents of such pleas. Svo. London. 1818. "The Elements of Pleas which Mr. Beames, in the dedication of his work to Lord Rededale, calls " an attempt to develope a part of that subject on which his Lordship's admirable Treatise will long remain a standard of accurate judgment and sound learning," is not only most useful as regards Pleas themselves, but also as treating incidentally on all other kinds of Equity Pleading. Mr. Beames not only clearly gives the rules pertaining to Equity Pleadings, but, what is of equal conse- quence to those who look beyond the surface of things, the reasons and grounds upon which they are based. All of this author's writings denote a mind thoroughly imbued with, and capable of grasping, his subjects. His style is bold and nervous, and his comments upon decisions and upon other writers are models of judicious legal criticism. Preface to Willis' Pleadings in Equity, 7. . General orders of the High Court of Chancery, from 1600 to 1815, with notes. Svo. London. 1815. The editor of this collection gave to the profession a complete and accurate transcript of all the preceding orders of the Chancellors. These are illustrated by references, and apposite notes to all the books of Chancery Practice and cases there decided. It is remarkable, that the practice of the Courts had in several instances deviated from^ orders previously promulgated, which were not generally known to exist until the publication of the present work. This book has been mostly super- seded by those who have availed themselves of the editor's labors, and the gradual advancement and changes in Chancery Practice. ■ . A brief view of the writ Ne Exeat Regno, as an Equitable Process ; with the Rules of Practice relating to it. 2d American, from the last London edition, with notes of the recent English and American decisions.
