Notes of Cases in Equity: Extracted from the Manuscripts of Sir Samuel Romilly, Vol. 1

A vintage collection of case notes and commentary by Edward Romilly, drawing from Romilly’s own records. This edition gathers hundreds of equity cases decided between 1779 and 1794, with marginal notes and editorial observations to illuminate legal principles still shaping practice today.

The book presents a focused view of early modern equity and its practical application. It combines reported cases with Romilly’s own reflections, offering a window into how lawyers once reasoned about property, trusts, and remedies. The notes reference other authorities and collections, helping readers trace ideas across sources while staying anchored to the core cases.

Clear summaries of landmark and lesser-known equity decisions.
Editorial commentary on general legal principles illustrated by the cases.
Marginal notes drawn from index material to aid quick understanding.
Context for how historical decisions relate to modern law and practice.

Ideal for students of legal history, practicing lawyers, and readers curious about how past judges shaped rights, remedies, and property arrangements.
