TO THE Practitioners and Students OF THE Common LAW OF ENGLAND Especially such as would be throughly Acquainted with Conveyancing WIthout the least Flattery to the Memory of our deceased Author I may boldly say His indefatigable Labours need not be usher'd into the World with studied Eulogyes And I doubt not but you will concur with me in the same Opinion when you have perus'd this Book and confess his own Labours to be his greatest Commendation Touching the Subject matter it contains the several Forms of Settlements of Estates to Uses with power for Cestuy que use for Life and in Tayl to make Joyntures Leases and Grants of Rents Likewise the Forms of Limitation of Uses for Years for payment of Debts discharge of Sureties and raising of Portions for Younger Children It also treats of Limitation of Uses in Fee for the Lands to be sold to pay Debts c.

That Hâ—spent a considerable time in the study of the Law at Grays-Inne and being unwearied in searching after all opportunities to improve his knowledge He at length was call'd to the Barr and gain'd in a little time the Vogue of being a profound and judicious Counsellor His Apprehension was alwaies quick his Judgment deliberate solid and not wavering of a clear discerning faculty his Memory sound and his Patience the truest index of a Wise man alwaies commanded his Passions in short He was a Person of exquisite natural and acquired Parts and that which much contributed to the latter was his great Moderation and Temperance whereby his study and business glided in their delighted Channels uninterrupted Being at length wearied with Business he retir'd into the Country where having finish'd this Elaborate Work he dyed Since whose death his Manuscript being left to the Guardianship of a Friend and committed into my hands in order to be made Publick for the further advantage of such as would be perfect in the setling of Estates I have hereunto added the Learning touching Fines and Recoveries hoping the Ingenious will be moderate in their Censures And if I have in this done any thing to your Advantage it will answer the pains of him that is Your Servant W.
