Gober's Georgia Form Book And Procedure, A Collection Of Legal Forms With Annotations From The Reports Of The Supreme Court And The Court Of Appeals Of Georgia On Questions Relating To Forms And Procedure; Prepared For The Use Of The Judiciary, The Bar, The Officers Of Court, And Business Me, George Fletcher Gober

Historical Treatises

Excerpt from the preface:

The work of preparing this volume has developed out of all proportion to what I anticipated in the outset. The great trouble under our system is that there are so many things that are not fixed and determined. Our system of pleading provides that a party must plainly, fully and distinctly set forth his cause of action, and this leaves the form to be passed upon under the discretion of about one hundred trial judges in the City and Superior Courts, and this discretion, in many instances, is controlled by individual and particular ideas.

A Manual On Land Registration, Arthur Gray Powell

Historical Treatises

Excerpt from the preface:

I decided that my labors would prove most useful if I attempted to write a practical, rather than a learned treatise on the subject. While the subject is one that might bear much fruit under learned treatment, still what the present moment most demands is a practical handbook which will inform the profession and the officers who are to administer the law what to do and how to do it, when a landowner comes seeking to register his land.

There has been no effort at style, except that I have striven to state matters in a …

A Treatise On The Constitution Of Georgia, Walter Mcelreath

Historical Treatises

Excerpt from the preface:

Every thorough lawyer and careful judge in Georgia has experienced great difficulty in tracing the history of constitutional provisions through the scattered and rare volumes of digests, codes and sessions laws and has suffered great inconvenience in ascertaining with certainty what was the organic law with respect to a given proposition at a given time. To remove this difficulty and to lessen this inconvenience, the preparation of the present work was undertaken, with the primary purpose to exhibit the fundamental law of the state,-not to furnish a commentary upon it. It was at first proposed only …

Historical Treatises

From the preface:

On account of the many changes made in the Laws of Georgia relating to Executors, Administrators and Guardians, and on account of the codification of the same, I have, upon the request of many valued friends, prepared this work. It might be styled a third edition of the Manual for Ordinaries, Executors, Administrators and Guardians, in the State of Georgia; yet, as this work is of more than a local application, I have changed the title of it, following the example of Redfield, Smith, North, and others. In the citation of Sections of Code, I have followed …

A Compilation Of Legal Forms In Use In The State Of Georgia, The Rules Of Practice, And State Papers, Howell Cobb

Historical Treatises

From the front matter:

I have examined your Compilation of Legal Forms, with as much attention as one perusal would allow. The forms and precedents are well selected, and such as are of most frequent use in business transactions, and a portion of them such as, I believe, cannot be found in any other compilation. Such portions of the work as must depend, for their correctness, upon the care of - the publisher, I have not thought it necessary to examine, as they are., already before .the public, but in detached and separate books, and embraced in your work for …
