Beschreibung
The fourth edition of this treatise on copyhold law from Charles Watkins. Charles Watkins (died 1808) was a Welsh lawyer and legal writer. Edited by Thomas Coventry. During his lifetime Watkins was author of some able treatises on aspects of the law. These included an account of the powers of the king, as guardian of the duchy of Cornwall, as well as a study of the law of descents (1793). His Reflections on Government in General appeared in 1796. Watkins also edited the introduction (on the feudal system) for the fourth edition of Sir Geoffrey Gilbert's Law of Tenures (1796). Two further works no doubt arose from his professional practice. These were A Treatise on Copyholds (2 vols., 1797 9) and also Principles of Conveyancing, Designed for the Use of Students (1800). This work went into at least nine editions by 1845, and was regarded as "a masterly and practical sketch" (Allibone, Dict., 3.2602). Watkins died at Gloucester on 15 January 1808. (DNB) Complete in two volumes. Rebound in cloth. Externally, smart with just the odd mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages have some slight age-toning and instances of foxing. Ink signature to the title page. There are some scattered pencil and ink annotations throughout, with the occasional spot. The overall condition of the work is impacted by the internal condition. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GEN2-C-17
