An important nineteenth-century work of British legal scholarship, systematically presenting leading judicial decisions in English and Scottish commercial law, accompanied by explanatory notes and commentary. The author, George Ross (1814-1863), was a distinguished Scottish advocate and legal scholar who was appointed Professor of Scots Law at the University of Edinburgh in 1861. His legal writings were highly regarded for their careful selection of authorities, systematic arrangement and clarity of legal analysis. The work provides a substantial examination of commercial jurisprudence in nineteenth-century Britain Of particular interest to collectors and researchers, the work provides a valuable historical record of the development of commercial law during a period of considerable economic and industrial expansion. BINDING AND CONDITION Good antiquarian condition. Complete in three volumes. The three volumes are uniformly bound in contemporary full tan-brown leather, with raised bands to the spines and gilt lettering identifying the title, author and individual volumes. The leather displays rubbing, surface scratches, scuffing and general wear consistent with age and use. There is some wear to the spine extremities, raised bands and board edges. The gilt spine lettering remains clearly legible and attractive. Importantly, all boards are firmly attached, all pages are present and there are no loose or detached leaves. The bindings remain structurally sound and the text blocks are secure. The pages exhibit age-related discolouration and scattered foxing, particularly on the preliminary leaves and title pages. The substantial text blocks retain their characteristic uneven, untrimmed edges. Despite their external wear, the volumes remain a handsome, complete and structurally sound example of nineteenth-century legal bookbinding. The accompanying photographs illustrate the actual condition of the bindings, spines, boards and pages. …

A new Edition, corrected. 10 Bde. 8vo. Zusammen ca. 4.600 Seiten. Neue Broschuren mit Rückentitelschildern. (St.a.T., sonst sehr sauberer Zustand). Locke (1632-1704), im selben Jahr geboren wie Samuel Pufendorf, gilt als ein Vordenker der Aufklärung, als ein früher Vordenker des Liberalismus, als ein Hauptvertreter des Empirismus und als einer der bedeutendsten Vertragstheoretiker überhaupt - mit unübersehbarem Einfluß auf die weitere aufklärerische Philosophie, aber ebenso die praktische Politik (Unabhängigkeitserklärung und Verfassung der USA, Französische Revolution). Er las Pufendorf und wurde vom deutschen Philosophen stark beeinflusst. Locke (1632-1704) gilt mit seinen "Zwei Abhandlungen über die Regierung" (zuerst 1690) als der Begründer des politischen Liberalismus! In der ersten Abhandlung widerspricht Locke der Ableitung der absoluten Monarchie aus göttlichem Recht, in der zweiten Abhandlung stellt er seine eigene Staatstheorie vor. - Vgl. Stolleis, Juristen, 386/87; Printing and the Mind of Man 163.…
