London: William Benning and Co., First edition. Scarce First Edition of a Landmark Treatise on Legislative Drafting Coode, George [1807-1869]. On Legislative Expression: Or, The Language of the Written Law. London: William Benning and Co., 43, Fleet-Street; James Ridgway, 169, Piccadilly, 1845. 69, [1] pp. Octavo (8" x 5-1/2"; 20.32 x 13.97). Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet. Slightly cocked, small chip, two tiny stains and library stamp (Birmingham Law Society) to title page. A very good copy. $750. * First edition. Coode, a barrister of the Inner Temple, was a master of legal writing who believed legal language should be written, as much as possible, in plain English.

It remains an essential historical resource for legal scholars, lawmakers, and anyone interested in the evolution and improvement of legal writing and the interpretation of legal documents The first American edition of this work was reprinted in 1848 in Philadelphia by T. & J.W. Johnson, both as an independent title and as one of the titles in Volume 60 of Johnson's reprint series The Law Library. The first edition was reissued again as an appendix to Brightly's editions of Purdon's Digest of the Laws of Pennsylvania (1873, 1894, 1895). A Canadian reissue of the second edition was published in 1947, which was followed in 1976 by a revised edition by Elmer A. Driedger, the final editi. …
