Book Description

Excerpt from The Principles of Equity: Intended for the Use of Students and the Profession IN this twelfth edition of the Principles of Equity (being the ninth which I have done), I have endeavoured to maintain the qualities of accuracy and of simplicity, the combination of which in the previous editions has so largely secured the acceptability of Snell with students. Since the date of the last edition, there have been only two statutes, - the Judi cial Trustees Act, 1896, and the Land Transfer Act, 1897, - of any material importance in equity; but the growth of the new decisions, being new developments of the principles of equity, has been very great; and the size of the book has (i regret to say) been thereby necessarily increased, there being no fewer than seventy-two pages of new text alone, besides the other incidental additions. I have, however, studied the greatest brevity and I have adopted in this edition, and have consistently maintained throughout it, a somewhat novel and laborious mode of punctuation, by means of which I have relieved considerably the labours of the student.
