This book by a savant of the text of equity and trust is the child of a midwife who labours in the maternity wards of lecture theatres to deliver the subject to university law students in a literal and simplified manner shorn of the arcane dross the principles are often draped. In this text, literature, Latin and philosophy sound through the law. There is indeed a sense it can be said the text is a convergence point for law, literature, Latin and Philosophy.
