About This Item
Columbia: Evans and Cogswell, 1864. Later buckram [bit of spine wear], with gilt-lettered morocco spine titles. 329, [1 errata] pp. Minor wear, Very Good.
The authors contemplated that this Confederate Imprint, as the title states, would "be continued every session." It wasn't. Still, says Nevins, this "extremely scarce" book is "a starting point for a study of Confederate military law."
Contents include the organization of the regular and the provisional armies, arms and munitions, the flag, forts and arsenals, habeas corpus, slaves, naval laws, taxes, prisoners of war, and a plethora of other subjects. A detailed Index is printed at the end.
Parrish & Willingham 44. Nicholson 471. 113 Eberstadt 146. II Nevins 174. Not in Turnbull, Harv. Law Cat., or Marke.
