Miscellaneous Chancery Reports From the Time of King George II (1727–1753)
This volume of Chancery reports contains a collection of miscellaneous reports in the Court of Chancery from 1727 to 1753, both in print and in manuscript.
This book is a part of an ongoing project to publish the early modern manuscript law reports from the Court of Chancery during the reign of Queen Anne (1702–1714). This new edition increases the number of case reports currently in print, making them accessible to scholars for the first time. The previously existing printed reports are not very reliable, and they paint the then-Lord Chancellor, Lord Harcourt, in a very poor light. This new material gives a better, unbiased, understanding of the Court of Chancery during this period.
