Referred to as Chancery Reports, all three parts were published anonymously from 1693 to 1716.[1] The year 1736 marked the first time that all three parts were published together.[2] "The different Parts of this book possess unequal merit. The first two—which appear to be mere extracts from the Register's books, and as such might have been made by some person who had never been in court at all—are characterized by Chancellor Kent 'as loose and meagre, without much weight or authority;' while of the 3d Part he says, 'that some cases in it, decided by Lord Cowper, are uncommonly well reported.'"[3]
