THE following compilation is not intended to be a treatise upon equity practice at large, but only to bring together in compact form the provisions found in the rules in equity prescribed by the supreme court, in the sections of the statutes of the United States, and in the decisions of the supreme court, which recognize, prescribe or explain the steps ordinarily required to be taken in carrying through suits in equity in the circuit courts of the United States. The purpose sought to be achieved is the furnishing a manual for ready reference for the busy practitioner and a guide to the novice, explaining the mode of procedure in bringing, preparing for hearing, and submitting suits in equity, including the means employed for the enforcing, reversing or appealing from final decrees.
