Excerpt from Life and Memorials of Daniel Webster, Vol. 2

There were then no books of practice and forms in the office, like Tidd's and Graham's, and a host of others, written since then. This was long before Kent had written his Commentaries. There was nothing visible to him. He has told me if Mr. Thompson had shown him at the outset, or had placed in his hands one of each kind of the writs issued in a suit, together with one of each kind of the papers, from the beginning to the end - for in stance, a Declaration, a Demurrer, a Plea, a Record, and a Judgment Roll - so that he could have had ocular demonstration of what each contained, and could have read it, and turned it over, and looked at it inside and out, he would have saved himself much labor, and his path would have been illuminated be yond what many persons would, perhaps, readily admit. He said he would earnestly recommend that every teacher of law students Should do what Mr. Thompson omitted to do, when he began to study law; that is, first to Show them the documents about which they are to read.

Excerpt from Life and Memorials of Daniel Webster, Vol. 2

It was not until he took up Espinasse Nisi Prius and Blackstone's Commentaries that he discovered the mistake, and he thenceforth insisted that he lost much time in unravelling black-letter webs and deducing premises, which he found had been clearly unravelled and deduced by others.
