Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook of Equity Jurisprudence
By the untimely death of James W. Eaton, the author of this book, soon after the completion of the manuscript, and while it was yet in the hands of the printers, the making of such statement as may be helpful to the reader in regard to its purposes, scope, and preparation, which would have come more fitly and satisfactorily from him who had devoted to the work much of the last year of his life, devolves on the publishers.
The general purpose of the author and the publishers has been to make a systematic, complete, and reliable presenta tion of Equity Jurisprudence, as full as is practicable within the limits of an ordinary volume, in the form and having the special features of the Hornbook Series, and, like others of the series, adapted to the needs both of the student and the practitioner. The Hornbook method, combining text, commentary, and annotation, seems peculiarly suitable for the treatment of this subject, in which general principles and maxims are so prominent and controlling, and their meaning and application are so fully illustrated by decided cases. The chief difficulty, indeed, arises from the great extent and variety of the subjects involved in the application of equi table doctrines. But while exhaustive treatment of spe cific subjects of equity jurisdiction is beyond the scope of this work, it is quite practicable to exhibit the application to each such subject of the various principles applicable, as fully as is useful in a general treatise.
