The first edition of this well-regarded work on actions was published in 1829. May, a Massachusetts lawyer and later Boston Municipal Court judge, began to revise the work with the third edition in 1854, after which at least two editions (including ours) appeared. The fifth edition is fairly common, but OCLC locates no copies of our fourth edition. See Cohen, Bibliography of Early American Law 9072.
