Excerpt from A Legal Monograph Upon Provisional Remedies Under the Code: With Decisions of Other States That Follow the New York Practice "Too many books!" was the cry that legend attributes to the Saracen, as he stooped from his saddle to touch his torch to the priceless manuscripts of the Alexandrian library. Story viewed with apprehension the rapid increase of reports, that had then reached - State and Federal together - the alarming number of a hundred and fifty volumes; and the student of to-day, contemplating the crowded shelves of our libraries, may well share the alarm of the jurist, while he entertains a feeling akin to sympathy with the reasons that actuated the barbarian. With the issuance of volumes, whose bare enumeration is an exhausting labor, and for the perusal of which time is altogether inadequate, there has arisen a pressing - an absolute - need of condensation and classification. The requirements of a work that will meet this demand are: that it shall be complete in its citations of authorities and enable the practitioner to determine the judicial construction of statute law without the necessity of consulting some hundreds of volumes; and that it shall be concise.
