• notes: As title notes, this is third edition of Hening's manual for legal practice in Virginia's county courts, issued as a result of the 1819 Revised Code of the Laws of Virginia (1819.063), which he had helped compile for the Assembly; the first edition of Hening's well-known handbook issued in 1795 from the Richmond press of Thomas Nicolson (1795.016), and was reprinted by Augustine Davis four years later (1799.035); Hening published a second edition in 1810 after a second addendum to New Revised Code of 1803 was published in 1808 (1810.031); this was the most extensive revision that he made to his manual of practice as a result of the codification of Virginia law begun by the 1819 revisal; he would publish a slightly altered fifth edition in 1825 in consequence of the dearth of available copies of this pivotal imprint.
  Hening entered a copyright for this work on September 15, 1820; his choice of the Richmond job-printers J. & G. Cochran provides an effective "not after" date for print-trade career of his nephew, William Waller Gray, who was his chosen printer over the preceding three years.
  Copyright to this title has been claimed by a textbook publisher – as an abandoned work under provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 – and so thus is available in digital form only by subscription to that service.
