 ARC States, Tidd's Practice is probably in more general use than any other English book upon the common law practice, and " has been universally allowed to be a model of completeness and accuracy." The reputation of Mr. Archbold's Treatise, is mainly attributable to its excellent arrangement and perspicuous style. It had passed through two editions when Mr. T. Chitty first edited the book, into which he has incorporated the changes made in the English practice, by the " Uniformity of Process Act," and the rules and decisions consequent upon its passage.

London. 1843. 4ih American ed. Svo. New York. 1843. The author, in the preface to this work, says, " Trifling as it may seem, it has cost me much time and great labour. I have taken infinite pains to simplify my subject; to reject every thing redundant or irrele- vant; to compress the whole into the smallest possible compass consis- tent with perspicuity ; and to clothe it in language plain, simple, and unadorned." This treatise is a standard work of great practical utility in England and America, . A Digest of the law relative (o Pleading and Evi- dence in Civil Actions. 2d ed. 12mo. London. 1837. . The New Practice of Attorneys in the Courts of Law at Westminster; with forms, including the recent statute as to attorneys; also, an appendix, comprising questions of practice. 2 vols. 12mo. London. 1844. The author, feeling himself aggrieved at the liberties taken by Mr. Chitty, as editor of his treatise upon The Practice of the Court of Queen's Bench, appears to have prepared this book of Practice as a rival work to that altered by T. Chitty. 2 Jurist, 571. . Peel's Acts, and all other Criminal Statutes, passed from 1 G.
