A Primary Source for Later Manuals Blackerby, Samuel [d.1714]. Blackerby, Nathaniel. The Justice of Peace His Companion, Or a Summary of All the Acts of Parliament, Whereby One, Two, Or More Justices of the Peace, Are Authorized to Act, Not Only in, but Out of the Sessions of Peace. Alphabetically Digested, And Continued to the End of the Last Session of Parliament, 1722. With an Exact Table, by Nathaniel Blackerby, Esq. [London]: Printed by E. and R. Nutt, and R. Gosling, 1723.

Light rubbing and a few minor stains and scuffs to boards, moderate rubbing to board edges, corners bumped and somewhat worn. Moderate toning, faint dampstaining to foot of text block, early owner signature to head of title page, "J Willard", faint later doodles in pencil to its verso. $350. * Fourth edition. First published in 1711, Blackerby's book went through eight subsequent editions, the final one in 1749. Arranged alphabetically, it treats the statutes that give authority to justices. Each is briefly summarized in one column; the penalty for its breach is stated in a parallel column. According to Holdsworth, "the book had many of the qualities of an index, and it was so used, Burn said, by writers of larger books on this topic." (Burn was the author of the magisterial Justice of the Peace and Parish Officer, first published in 1755 and long a standard work.) Nathaniel Blackerby, the author's son, produced the table for this edition. He edited the final four editions after his father's death. The signature to the title-page appears to be "J Willard", and may indicate the book was owned by the notable American judge and bibliophile John Willard (1792-1862). He was a justice of the Supreme Court of New York, and served also as a state senator in the New York State Senate. Holdsworth, A History of English Law XII:334.

Designed for practical use both in and out of the "Sessions of the Peace," the work proved so indispensable that it went through eight subsequent editions, the last one in 1749. (Nathaniel Blackerby, the author's son, edited the final four editions after his father's death.) Arranged alphabetically, it treats the statutes that give authority to justices. Each is briefly summarized in one column; the penalty for its breach is stated in a parallel column. According to Holdsworth, "the book had many of the qualities of an index, and it was so used, Burn said, by writers of larger books on this topic." (Burn was the author of the magisterial Justice of the Peace and Parish Officer, first published in 1755 and long a standard work.) Thomas Taylour [1757-1829], styled Viscount Headford from 1766 to 1795 and known as The Earl of Bective from 1795 to 1800, was an Irish peer and politician from County Meath who served three terms in the Irish House of Commons. His copy of Blackerby must have been useful when he was sheriff and one of the governors of County Meath. Holdsworth, A History of English Law XII:334.

Pickford, who later adopted the surname Radcliffe, was a magistrate and justice of the peace best known for the prolonged and brutal campaign against the Luddites which won him a knigh.
