Excerpt from An Introduction to Practice With Special Reference to the New York Code of Civil Procedure The C'ode was not written for students. Its authors as sumed the existence of a profession having knowledge of an existing system of practice in which statutory changes were to be made. For students, the Code is simply a collection of obscurities arranged in confusion. To them, as a subject of study, it is hopeless. To wander in its wilderness without a guide is to get lost. Yet the writer believes that it is practicable by efforts within ordinary abilities, properly assisted, to acquire a fair working knowledge of Code practice. With this purpose in mind his lectures have been planned, and upon the plan of the lectures this book has been written.
