Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 5th or later Edition. On offer here: "A Handy Book on Property Laws, in a Series of Letters", by Lord St. Leonards. This small hard cover book in blind-stamped brown paper with gilt titles on cover and spine, was published by William Blackwood and Sons of Edinburgh and London, dated 1858, and the Sixth Edition (so stated). Lord St. Leonards was a self-made lawyer and legal specialist who rose to take a number of prominent position in the British legal system, including Solicitor General and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He was very dedicated to the reform of English law. Please see the photos of the Table of Contents for your further information. The book makes it clear that Lord St. Leonards was determined to make English law more understandable to the lawyers and to some degree, to their clients. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The boards may be a bit faded overall but evenly so. The gilt titles on the cover are still prominent and fully legible; those on spine, less so. The boards were slightly bumped but nothing extreme. Inside, there is the bookplate of the Giustiniani-Bandini Library of Rome from which I acquired the book at an estate auction on the banks of the Tiber in 1978. There is also an embossed bookseller's cachet on the opposite page of the front endpaper. Those are the only marks I found in the book. The interior pages are clean and bright with just a few random instances of light soiling but nothing significant and nothing that impedes the legibility. The front hinge is starting but just barely, the rear intact and the binding tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…

1st edition. "When after a social dinner, at which I was present, Sir Charles Wetherell, with much humour, sketched the character of several of the guests; he thus addressed Lord Campbell:- "Then there is my noble and biographical friend who has added a new terror to death." I have lived to find that he has left behind him a new terror to life. After such a publication as the Lives of Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham, no man can be sure that he may not be libelled and misrepresented by an attack published in his lifetime." Pp.101, owner's details in pencil to reverse of front free endpaper. Brown cloth, original paper labels to front and spine, spine label very darkened, bumps tp edges of boards. G+.** "The life of Lyndhurst in the volume of Lord Campbell's Lives of the Chancellors published after Lord Campbell's death, while containing some interesting facts, is so full of misstatements and malignant innuendo as to be worthless as an authority. Written apparently to blast the good name of a great lawyer and statesman, it has only proved damaging to the reputation of its author for accuracy, candour, and honourable feeling" (AWebofEnglishHistory).…
