ADVERTISEMENT TO THE TENTH EDITION. THE work has been brought down to the time of publication in the same thorough and careful manner as in the two preceding editions. About one hundred new sections have been added to the text, and nearly five hundred cases in the notes, decided, mostly, since the date of the last edition. We feel confident the additions since the last edition will be of great value to the profession. All the additions of the present editor are indicated in the same manner as in the eighth edition. BOSTON, June 1, 1870. I. F. R. ADVERTISEMENT TO THE EIGHTH EDITION. THIS edition has been prepared with much care and study. And although it certainly does not come up to the editor's wishes that it should contain every thing which the profession might desire in such a work, which would be quite impracticable in treatise upon so extensive a subject: it is still hoped that, with the addition of more than two hundred new sections, and extensive notes, referring to more than one thousand new and important cases, and bringing the decisions of the English courts of equity down to the latest moment, almost to the very day of publication; together with a carefully prepared analysis preceding every chapter, it will be regarded by the profession, as an acceptable addition to the existing facilities for acquiring reliable information upon the present state of equity jurisprudence. Most of the additions to the present edition are indicated by [*]. The editor asks the same indulgence in regard to this, which the profession have so long extended towards his other imperfect efforts on their behalf. BOSTON, June 1, 1861. I. F. R. |
