Book Description

Excerpt from Digest of the New York Chancery Reports: As Follows: Johnson, 7 Vols., Hopkins, 1 Vol., Paige, 11 Vols., Barbour, 3 Vols., Chancery Sent'l (in One), 6 Vols., Edwards, 4 Vols., Hoffman, 1 Vol., Clarke, 1 Vol., Sandford, 4 Vols In accordance with our promise when we commenced the publication of the New York Chancery Reports, and with what is understood to be the common sentiment of the Bar, we herewith present our Digest, or Combined and Con solidated Index of those Reports, as Annotated in our Reprint Edition. The classification adopted, with improvements, is practically that of Johnson, but is more minutely subdivided, some matter being repeated under different heads, reducing cross-references to the minimum. Cross-references are made however, in all cases where they seemed likely to be helpful, and unless intended for the whole of a subject or division of a subject are made to the specific para graphs referred to. It refers to both editions of the Reports, and makes use of only such ordinary and long-established abbreviations as require no special explanation. The Annotation of our edition of the Reports is somewhat more elaborate than that ever undertaken in any series of law or equity reports. These origi nal editorial notes, if digested, would furnish more matter than the cases themselves. We have not, therefore, undertaken to give their substance, but to give simply very minute but brief index reference to each subject of each indi vidual Note. These will be found under the last sub-head of each Title. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
