Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Law Relating to the Specific Performance of Contracts

A long while ago the publishers of these pages entered into an engagement with a prominent member of the bar to write a treatise on the Specific Performance of Con tracts, but his subsequent call to a different field of labor compelled him to relinquish the undertaking, and the au thor then, by request, took it up. At that time this im portant subject had not been separately treated by any American writer; and, though it occupied a place in books on the general system'of Equity Jurisprudence, yet, to obtain detailed information in. Relation to it, resort was necessarily had to English works, which, of course, did not always present the law relating to the specific enforcement of contracts precisely as it is administered by the courts of this country. The reports of every State in the Union bear abundant testimony to the practical nature and fre quent recurrence between litigants of the topics herein dis cussed; and it is the object of the present volume to give the result of our legal decisions in connection with those of Great Britain in establishing rules governing such suits.
