Excerpt from Commentaries on Equity Jurisprudence: Founded on Story When this work was commenced more than three years ago, the intention was to prepare an edition of "Story's Equity Jurisprudence," adapted to the system of equity administered in this Province, and to publish it as such. After some progress had been made in preparing such an edition, the necessary omissions, additions and alterations were found to be so great that the original intention had to be abandoned. While the work, as now presented to the public, is in greater part that of the eminent American jurist, whole sections being copied from his commentaries, and is indebted to him for whatever of value it contains, it would have been unjust to his memory to put it forth as his. In the preparation of the work the statutory provisions in force in this Province, and especially the changes introduced by recent legislation in Ontario have been carefully kept in view; the leading Canadian cases and other more recent English ones have been cited in support of the various topics treated of; and it is believed the student will find in its pages all that is of importance in Story, or necessary for acquiring a practical knowledge of equity as administered in this Province.
