Book excerpt: Excerpt from Equity Precedents: Supplementary to Mr. Justice Story's Treatise on Equity Pleadings The extensive use of Mr. Justice's Story's Treatise on Equity Pleadings, in this country, has seemed to call for the preparation of a collection of Precedents, to be used by the student and practitioner, in connection with that work. Such a collection, of course, must be drawn from the best English collections of Equity Pleadings, in a great measure. I have, in general, adapted the English Precedents to the practice in this country, and have appended to them such references to Mr. Justice Story's Treatise, as will enable the pleader or the student to resort at once to the principles applicable to the case in hand. Many of the Precedents in this collection have been taken from Van Heythusen's Equity Draftsman, by Hughes (2 vols. 8vo. London, 1828), and from Willis's Equity Pleadings (8vo. London, 1820), with such alterations as seemed to be required. Li some instances, no alteration has been made, because the just understanding of the system of pleading, in those instances, requires that the English form should be studied, in connection with the discussions in Judge Story's Treatise, or other elementary works. Some of the Precedents of Bills and Answer; in this volume, particularly in Patent and Copyright cases, have been drawn by me, in my own practice, or have been furnished to me by professional friends.
