About This Item
The Selden Society, 2013. 1st edition.. Hardback. Cloth, F. lxii+439pp, colour frontis, index, a fine copy, publications of the Selden Society vol CXXIII. Transcripts from the extensive manuscript notes of Lawrence's ( a Common Pleas and Kings Bench judge 1794-1812 ), cases. These were for his own use, necessary because of the non-reporting or very-delayed reporting of cases in the central courts during most of the 18th century. In the introduction the editor chronicles this lack of regular and timely reporting, especially in the courts of Exchequer and Common Pleas. Hence the importance of materials such as these, drawn from the extensive collection of Lawrence manuscripts in the Middle Temple and Lincolns Inn libraries. The first part has notes of cases by Lawrence when still at the bar. But the main content is his notes as a judge, from 1794. These contain not only many unreported cases, but also supply the printed reports with much fuller detail; and include the unreported intermediate stages of litigation. In the last section of the volume, the editor has selected examples from seven out of the many Paper Books among Lawrences manuscripts.

Eastleach Books
All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444.
