Kornbluth, Judith Merril, Isaac Asimov, Damon Knight and, of course, Willy Ley who contributed an article for each issue. Each is 160 pp, illustrated throughout.

The Crown controlled these estates, overseeing the heirs' income rights and arranging their marriages until they came of age (21 for boys, 14 for girls). Although widows typically retained a third of their late husbands' estates, the Crown frequently sold wardships to the highest bidder or granted them as rewards for services rendered.Officially abolished in 1645, the Court of Wards and Liveries continued to function until the last wards came of age in the 1650s. This collection of reports was compiled by James Ley (1550-1629), the first Earl of Marlborough and Attorney-General of Wards from 1609. It includes cases from two other courts, the Court of Star Chamber and the King's Bench, and Ley's 'Instructions for our Master of our Wards and Liveries' and 'Learned treatise concerning wards & liveries' as an appendix.ESTC R13805. …
