A System Of The Laws Of The State Of Connecticut: In Six Books / Zephaniah Swift. This foundational American legal treatise surveys the origin, development, and scope of equity in England and the United States, emphasizing equity as a corrective to the rigidity and gaps of common law. It explains how equity arose in England from the king’s council and the chancellor and how Connecticut’s system evolved to unify law and equity, balancing formal rules with conscience and justice. The work covers mortgages, contracts, and conveyances, outlining when specific performance, reform of formalities, or relief from fraud may be appropriate, and it details writs, pleadings, trials, and evidence within an American procedural framework. It also examines Connecticut’s constitutional structure and the interaction of statute, common law, and equity. Across topics, Swift advocates a principled, accessible code designed to promote justice while balancing efficiency and liberty.
