Taylor, Silas. The History of Gavel-Kind: With the Etymology Thereof. Los Angeles, Sherwin & Freutel, 1970, 1663. First Sherwin & Freutel edition, 1970 facsimile reprint of the 1663 London edition. 211 pp., fold out genealogical table. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt stamped spine, near fine. Internally clean. $35. * Tracing the survival of pre-Conquest land inheritance customs, this specialized historical monograph investigates the legal system of gavelkind, an ancient form of land tenure unique to the County of Kent and parts of Wales.
