""History of a Suit in Equity"" is a legal text written by Alexander Hamilton Sands in 1854. The book details the proceedings of a lawsuit that was prosecuted and defended in both the Virginia State Courts and the U.S. Circuit Courts. The case was heard in equity, which refers to a legal system where a judge decides the outcome of the case based on fairness and justice rather than strict legal rules. Sands provides a detailed account of the legal arguments and strategies used by both sides in the case, as well as the decisions made by the judges. He also explains the historical context of the lawsuit, including the political and social climate of Virginia at the time. Overall, ""History of a Suit in Equity"" offers a valuable insight into the legal system of the mid-19th century United States, as well as the specific case that Sands analyzes. The book is a useful resource for legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of American law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
