Excerpt from Modern Pleading and Practice in Equity in the Federal and State Courts of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: With Particular Reference to the Federal Practice, Including Numerous Forms and Precedents I have designed this Work to be a convenient manual of the present practice in all Courts of Chancery, but with particular reference to suits in the federal courts. Inasmuch as the practice in the United States Circuit Courts of Appeals is new, and in consequence at least measurably unsettled, I have given very especial attention to that branch of the subject, endeavoring to include a full statement of every point decided in reference to such appeals down to the time of going to press.
