[7] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

count, pleading. this word, derived from the french conte, a narrative, is 
in our old law books used synonymously with declaration but practice has 
introduced the following distinction: when the plaintiff's complaint 
embraces only a single cause of action, and he makes only one statement of 
it, that statement is called, indifferently, a declaration or count; though 
the former is the more usual term. 
    2. but when the suit embraces two or more causes of action, each of 
which of course requires a different statement; or when the plaintiff makes 
two or more different statements of one and the same cause of action, each 
several statement is called a count, and all of them, collectively, 
constitute the declaration. 
    3. in all cases, however, in which there are two or more counts, whether 
there is actually but one cause of action or several, each count purports, 
upon the face of it, to disclose a distinct right of action, unconnected 
with that stated in any of the other counts. 
    4. one object proposed, in inserting two or more counts in one 
declaration, when there is in fact but one cause of action, is, in some 
cases, to guard against the danger of an insufficient statement of the 
cause, where a doubt exists as to the legal sufficiency of one or another of 
two different modes of declaring; but the more usual end proposed in 
inserting more than one count in such case, is to accommodate the statement 
to the cause, as far as may be, to the possible state of the proof to be 
exhibited on trial; or to guard, if possible, against the hazard of the 
proofs varying materially from the statement of the cause of action; so that 
if one or more or several counts be not adapted to the evidence, some other 
of them may be so. gould on pl. c. 4, s. 2, 3, 4; steph. pl. 279; doct. pl. 
1 78; 8 com. dig. 291; dane's ab. index, h.t.; bouv. inst. index, h.t. in 
real actions, the declaration is most usually called a count. steph. pl. 36, 
see common count; money count.
