Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

The third edition revised and corrected by Francis Williams Sanders. In three volumes. Vol. I. (.III.) Oktav. (1:) VI, (34), 633, (72) S.; (2:) VI, (30), 675, (78) S.; (3:) Ttlbl., (22), 817, (82) S. 3 sehr schöne zeitgenössische hellbraune Kalbslederbände mit vier Bünden und rot-achwarzen Rückenschildern. These Reports have had the misfortune to be often condemned, and yet no Equity Reports have been much oftener cited. The reporter is belabored for inaccuracy, yet he tells us, in the preface to volume second, that he has been the trouble and expense of comparing his notes with the Register, "and have, in those instances where I thought it was necessary, taken the state of the case from thence, and in some of the nicest material, have given the substance of the decree," which examination is confirmed by Mr. Sanders, the confessedly able editor of these Reports, who says: "The editor must take this oppotunity, however, of observing, that he has frequently experienced his researches in the Register`s Books anticipated by the previous labours of Mr. Atkyns. That gentleman, before the publication of his Reports, had certainly compared many of them with the records; and this is evident, not only from his own declaration in the preface to his second volume, but more especially as many of his statements of cases and decrees thereupon are taken, almost verbatim, from the Register`s Books." The reporter informs us that he was not able to procure a full statement of all the cases cum aliis pertinentibus, "for where the court have been of opinion to dismiss the plaintiff`s bill, the reigster has only ,ade a minute of the dismission, and the case at large has not been entered in the report office, the parties in the suit not choosing to be at the expense of it," - and yet this is attributed to the reporter`s inaccuracy and want of fulness in his statements of cases, which has been reiterated from the time of Lord Mansfield down to 1846, without one saving clause in the allegations, Mr. Kyd, in his sapience, has surpassed all of the vilifiers of Atkyns`Reports, in his sweeping charges- "In Atkyns and Vesey, there is hardly ever a state of the facts given to render the arguments of the counsel and jeudgment of his lordship intelligible. The reader is left to collect, from the allusions of each, such an imperfect state of the case as he can, and frequently to supply from conjecture, something to render it consistent with itself; and his lorship`s judgement is generally reported in a manner so confused, and in language so vague and incorrect, that it is difficult to establish upon it any general principle." Any lawyer who has thumbed these Reports at all, knows that this statement must be taken cum grano sali, and from what has been already stated the reporter`s conciseness, in many cases, is not his fault, and he was obliged to give such a report of them as he has given or none at all. It is possible that some of the elder remarks, versus Atkyns, were levelled at him because he did not choose to trouble the judges for their imprimatur, which was usually done by the reporters of his and the preceding time, and which was thought to be a sine qua non in order to give a short of currency to their labours. Perhaps this will be explain what Lord Mansfield is reported to have said: " Atkyns must not be cited as an authority." One can only add, Tantaene animis caelestibus irae? Mr. Atkyns, however, very properly and frankly gives his reason for not so doing - "They /the judges) could not, from their situation, be supposed to examine the manuscript with any accuracy before it was printed; and, therefore, to solicit them to give the sanction of their names to a performance with which they were entirely unacquainted, in my opinion, would have been paying their lordships a very ill compliment; and I chose rather, after a complete and candid examination of these reports, they should either rise or fall in the esteem of the public, according to their rea.…

Shopbeschreibung

Wir haben uns zum Ziel gesetzt, jahrhundertealtes Wissen zu erhalten und zugänglich zu machen. Viele bedeutende juristische Werke des 15. - 19. Jahrhunderts sind kaum mehr zugänglich und oft schon so beschädigt, dass sie nicht mehr leserlich sind. Es kursieren schlechte Kopien, die als Vorlage für ein ernsthaftes Arbeiten am Text völlig ungeeignet sind. Wir haben uns darangemacht, diese Werke einzuscannen und in mühevoller Kleinarbeit nachzubearbeiten, so dass sie als gut leserlicher Reprint zur Verfügung stehen. Bei älteren Werken kommt es oft vor, dass durch Abrieb oder Wurmfrass Textstellen ergänzt werden müssen, hier haben wir keine Mühe gescheut, den Text so wiederherzustellen, dass er sich völlig ins Schriftbild eingliedert…
