I have heard able Conveyancers often own, that the infinite variety in the Business of Conveyancing makes it abfolutely neceffary for every Practifer to have a good Collection of Precedents, at least of special Matters, either for his imme diate Use and Direction in Draw ing, or for comparing with the Draught when perfected; which Collection is not in the Power and Inclinations of every Clerk, or young Attorney to procure; for if they have Opportunities, the Labour oftentimes proves a great Difcouragement, tho' it has been my good Fortune to have great Opportunities, and not to want Industry to use them: Thefe Confiderations (with a due regard to my own Improvement in turning over all my Draughts, Papers, Manuscripts,

c. and in reducing them to Methods, and preparing many new Inftruments) prevail'd with me to undertake and publish Works of this Nature; and fince my Precedents both in my accomplish'd Conveyancer, and in this Volume, are entirely new and of the best fort, I doubt not but the Variety and Method contained in the former, make it compleatly useful to all young Practifers, as this will appear to be, to Men of riper Years and Experience.

I hope this Work will not be difefteem'd for containing the Dates and Parties in Deeds: As those Things are small in themfelves, and confequently every Practifer of a tollerable Knowledge may be fupposd to be acquainted with them, the Author thought it neceffary to in

fert

fert fome Things under thofe Heads, as alfo fome other common Matters to make the Grand Precedent compleat; but they take up a very small part of this Volume, and therefore 'tis hoped the whole will not fuffer in its Reputation for the fake of a few Pages.
