I'm always pleasantly surprised by how useful the pre-Civil War form books are. Here are a few with sample wills.
Benjamin Tate's 1830 The Form Book, which was published in Philadelphia.
Benjamin Tate's 1845 American Form Book, published in Richmond.
Delos W. Beadle's 1851 American Lawyer and Business-Man's Form-Book, published in New York.
