Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Injunctions, Vol. 1 of 2

The jurisdiction of courts of equity by the writ of injune tion, though of English chain; is largely the result of Ameri can growth and development. Perhaps no branch of equity jurisprudence owes more to the decisicns of American courts, and the growing frequency of the use of this writ, of late years, has. Invested the subject with a new importance. Of the more recent text-books upon the Law of Injunctions, that of Mr. Hilliard, professing to be purely American, contains, of course, but few citations of English cases, while the English treatises of Mr. Kerr and Mr. J oyec, though complete and exhaustive so far as regards the English authorities, contain but few references to the opinions of our courts, and leave the rich field of American decisions almost untouched. And. The fact that very many of the English authorities, noticeably those of recent date, are modified by statutes which are inappli cable here, has seemed to the author to create an additional necessity for a work which should be based upon the decisions of both countries, and which should present the general prin ciples governing courts of equity, both in England and America, in the administration of preventive relief.
