This book appeared at a turning point in the history of English pleading.
The act of King George II that abolished the use of Law-French and Latin compelled the legal profession to devise writs and pleadings in English.
This book aims to elucidate the new English forms while keeping them consistent with "the nature and forms" of their predecessors. Bohun was an attorney and prolific author who published well-received treatises on legal education, pleading, ecclesiastical law and other subjects.
