Excerpt from Court-Hand Restored, or the Student's Assistant in Reading Old Deeds, Charters, Records, Etc., Neatly Engraved on Twenty-Three Copper Plates, Describing the Old Law Hands, With Their Contractions and Abbreviations: With an Appendix Containing the Ancient Names of Places in Great Britain and Ireland; An Alphabetical Table of Ancient Surnames; And a Glossography of Latin Words Found in the Works of the Most Eminent Lawyers and Other Ancient Writings

From all which it may be reasonably concluded, that although the works of those great men are highly beneficial to consult in the first instance, yet, where there is a possibility of producing the original Record, the Court always requires the best evidence that the nature of the Case will admit, and therefore it is highly necessary that all Gentlemen of the Law should be able to read them in their original state.
