Synopsis
A General Abridgment Of Law And Equity: Alphabetically Digested Under Proper Titles, With Notes And References To The Whole by Charles Viner presents a comprehensive 18th?century English legal digest organized by topic. It compiles rules, principles, and illustrative cases across property, title, and equity, including fines, bar to title, forfeiture, fraud, and fraudulent conveyances, as well as settlements, marriages, and creditor?debtor contexts. The work examines how legal and equitable doctrines intersect on estates, trusts, and conveyances, with extensive cross?references to authorities. It covers remedies such as setting aside transfers, reconveyance, and actions against subsequent purchasers; the treatment of foreign law and judgments; and procedural topics including forcible entry, writs, and effects of guardianship or lunacy on titles. The digest reads like a reference work from the late 17th to early 19th centuries, designed to aid lawyers in classification, research, and strategizing litigation and equity relief. It also includes entries on creditors’ remedies, mortgagee rights, and the interaction of marriages and settlements with property interests.
