EQUITY AND ITS REMEDIES (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Equity and Its RemediesThis book is the outcome of lectures delivered by the author at the Evening Law School of the Boston Y. M. C. A. And at the Law School of Boston Univer sity, on the equitable remedies. The justification for putting the material in this form is found in the expressions of gratitude from former students who have been good enough to say that they have found in these lectures citations and statements of principles inaccessible in any text-book. The frequency with which the author has turned to these notes for cita tions in his own practise has convinced him that others of the profession may be able to find assistance from the same source.The book is an attempt to give a rational outline of equity (exclusive of trusts and kindred subjects) and to show the scope of the equitable remedies. It does not attempt to deal with strictly statutory subjects or with equity pleading or practice. While the citations are largely drawn from Massa chusetts cases (and Amess Cases on Equity), it is believed the subject is treated in such a way as to make the book of general application, useful to the student or practitioner in any part of the United States. No attempt has been made to cite all the equity cases decided in Massachusetts, although cer tain parts of the subject, not covered by existing text-books, have been treated with thoroughness. Special attention has been given to late cases.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
