Excerpt from Elements of Equity for the Use of Students The present work has been prepared in a similar style to that of the author's Elements of Torts. An attempt has been made to present the subject of equity jurisprudence in the concrete, - to show to the student the actual working of the system of equity in the administration of justice. Equity, however, is a more difficult subject than torts in which to carry out such an attempt. The facts liti gated in equity causes are generally complicated; and short, forcible examples are diflicult to find in the Reports. For this reason, fewer examples taken directly from the facts of particular causes will be found in this work than in its predecessor; but this necessary defect has been supplied, as far as possible, by connecting the principles stated with appropriate and usual classes of facts.
