About the author
William Henry Lloyd (1870–1936) was a Philadelphia attorney and legal educator. He earned an A.B., A.M., and LL.B. from the University of Pennsylvania, later receiving an LL.M. there in 1933. After practicing law in Philadelphia, he joined the university’s Law School, serving as a lecturer from 1910 to 1912, assistant professor from 1912 to 1916, and professor of law from 1916 until his death.
Lloyd wrote and edited several works for law students and scholars, including The Early Courts of Pennsylvania (1910), Cases on Civil Procedure (1916), Cases on Certain Equitable Doctrines and Remedies (1917), and Cases on Pleading (1927). His books combined selected legal decisions with annotations, preserving both practical instruction and the history of American legal practice.
