TLDR
The assertion that "equity in the early American colonies is a subject that still awaits complete research" is more true of some colonies than of others as discussed by the authors, but this piecemeal approach has resulted in the overwriting of Massachusetts's meagre and testy involvement with the chancery style of justice, while Virginia's much richer involvement has received too little treatment.
