While first published in London in 1834, this New York edition is significantly enhanced by John Townshend's extensive American annotations and citations. The American Law Journal praised the work as "brief yet comprehensive," noting its "infinite research" into how courts actually construct judgments. This copy's history connects the legal world to literary history. It was previously held in the library of Benjamin A. Maslan (1901-1979), a famed Seattle attorney and collector. It also bears the stamp of Rees, Welsh & Co., the Philadelphia publishers who famously braved the Boston ban to publish Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass and Simon Greenleaf's landmark Treatise on the Law of Evidence.
