A COMPLETE TOWNSHEND'S AND CORNWALL's TABLES, AS WELL AS AN INDEX OF REFERENCE TO ALL THE ANCIENT 14665 BY JOHN WENTWORTH, OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER AT LAW. EsQ: PRINTED FOR J. MOORE, 45, COLLEGE-GREEN. 1.1799. то THE PROFESSION. AFTER fucceffive interruptions and difappointments for eighteen months, fince this work was first announced, I am now able to prefent to the Profeffion the first Volume of my SYSTEM OF PLEADING in Octavo, which, pursuing my favourite plan, contains ABATEMENT, ACCOUNT, and part of ASSUMPSIT; together with the particular ANALYSIS of the Pleas in Abatement and of the Action of Account, as I intend at the end of every complete Head or Heads, when completed in each fucceding volume. These I name the HEADS or LEADING TITLES; for the Heads of Proceedings by and against Attornies, &c. are fubdivifions arifing out of the General Heads. THE next Head in the plan, namely, ANNUITY, may feem to be an exception; but this Head, by reference to the INDEX, will be obferved to be poftponed to the Pleadings under the Head Writ of Annuity-Proceedings in, in order to connect the old Proceedings, fuch as Writ of Annuity, Writ of Right, &c.: Yet ANNUITY will preferve its former place if it follows Perfonal and Mixed Actions, and immediately precede Writs of Right, &c. which are Real Actions without injury to the ANALYSIS.
