Description:
Paris, de l'Imprimerie Royale. 1827. FIRST EDITION. 4to, 283 x 218 mms., pp. xi [xii contents, xiii first part, xiv blank], 110 [111 Errata, 112 blank, 113 - 116 index], handsomely bound in full red straight-grain morroco, gilt roll borders on cover, with two borders in blind, and a central modified lozenge in each panel, spine richly gilt, all edges gilt, blue silk end-papers; additional plain end-papers slightly foxed, some very slight wear to joints, but a very, very good to find copy. This first scientific report on crime in France was prepared by the Count de Peyronnet (1778-1854), who ountersigned the ordinances that provoked the July Revolution of 1830 and put an end to the regime. The minister reports thus on the administration of justice during the reign of Charlex X of France (1757 - 1836).

Description:
A Edinbourg, Chez G. Hamilton & J. Balfour, 1750. FIRST SCOTTISH EDITION. 2 volumes. 8vo (in 4s), 198 x 112 mms., pp. xxviii, 458 [459 errata, 460 blank]; xvii [xviii errata], 487 [488 blank], contemporary lightly polished, spine gilt in compartments with curious ichthyological ornament (sort of a sea creature or mermaid with its tail curved towards its head), red leather label; very slight rubbing of joints, but a fine set, with the later bookplate of Sir James Miller Bart of Manderston, probably the racehorse owner (1864 - 1906). Hamilton and Balfour had published a few minor French works in translation before 1750, but this was their first full-length publication in French. They issued subscription proposals for this edition, claiming, not unusually for 18th century publishers, that their edition would be more correct than those published in London and Geneva, where it was first published in 1748. The subscription proposals were announced in the Caledonian Mercury on 1 June 1749:… Read More

Description:
Edinburgi, Venales Prostant apud Gordon et Murray. 1780. 8vo (in 4s), 211 x 121 mms., pp. [iv], 418 [419 - 445, 446 blank], contemporary calf, red leather label; end-papers affected by camp, but a good copy with the armorial bookplate of Cuninghame of Lainshaw on the front paste-down end-paper, and the autograph and date "Tho Cuninghame 1780" on the top margin of the recto of the front free end-paper. The provenance is probably that of Thomas Cuninghame, eldest son of the eccentric William Cuninghame, the "Tobacco Lord," who made a fortune in the American colonies between 1748 and 1762, but who was disinherited by his father. Heineccius (1681 - 1741) was one of the most important philosophical jurists of his time, and he treated law as if it were one of the sciences. The first edition of this work was published in Amsterdam in 1731 ESTC N9119 locates copies in Aberdeen, NLS (3), and Dublin Honourable Society of King's Inn in these islands; Library and Archives,… Read More

Description:
London: printed by A. Strahan and W. Woodfall, Law Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majesty; for E. and R. Brooke..., 1794. 8vo, 209 x 13o mms., pp. [v], vi - xii, 339 [340 blank], [56 - index], recently rebound in quarter calf, marbled boards, morocco labels; title-page slightly detached at inner margin, but a sound copy. Sir Jeffray Gilbert (1674–1726) was a distinguished judge and legal writer; he left a number of manuscripts, and this work was first published posthumously in 1755. It derived from a very lengthy manuscript on English law, which he left unpublished and incomplete. The only work that Gilbert published, and that anonymously, in his lifetime was an Abstract of Locke's 'Essay Concerning Human Understanding' (1709). Gilbert's description of replevin (in English law, a legal remedy for a person to recover goods unlawfully withheld from his or her possession) was one of the first works to treat the concept so thoroughly.

Venetiis Ioan Gryphius Excudebat, 1554. 4to, 208 x 156 mms., pp. [viii], 456 [457 - 536 Index], contemporary vellum, title in ink on spine; ties gone, binding a bit soiled, but text clean and fresh; a very good copy. The jurist and legal scholar Pierre Rebuffi Pierre Rebuffi (1487-1557) made one of the most substantial contributions to canon law in the 16th century. He taught canon law at several universities, including Montpelier, Toulouse, Cahors, and in Paris. Professor Howell A. Lloyd, in "Constitutional Thought in Sixteenth Century France: The Case of Pierre Rebuffi" (French History, 1994) notes that Rebuffi belonged to the school of thought that favoured authoritarian monarchy. "Chief amongst his writings were treatises on the law concerning ecclesiastical benefices. In his Praxis Beneficiorum, he provided a thorough-going examination of the conditions upon which benefices might be gained, held, and resigned."

MDCCXLVIII [1748]. . 4t0, 228 x 178, pp. xx, 288, contemporary vellum, remains of cords at fore-edge, most of front free end-paper removed, front hinge cracked with interior of spine visible; with a late 20th century inscription on front paste-down end-paper: "1 Jan 77/A Rare book/ for rare friends/ Douglas Todd" Born in Clauzetto in Italy, Daniel or Daniello Concina (1687-1756) was an early and influential Dominican preacher, author, and theologian. This work, Usura Contractus Trini, was written on the history of usury and in it Concina vigorously disputed the work by Nicolaus Broedersen of Delft. Broedersen is believed to have been born around 1690, and to have died in either 1762 or 1772. The book Concina took as the target of his criticism was Broedersen's De Usuris Licitis et Illicitis from 1743, whose publication some regarded as outright scandalous. The first edition of… Read More
