Beschreibung

Octavo. [16], 456, [10 (index)], xxiv, 32, [19], [1 (blank)] pp. First edition. Bound in contemporary calf with morocco title label on the spine; front board is discreetly reattached; lacking both free endpapers; two leaves of the preface are missing the top corner but not affecting any text; many dog-eared pages throughout; textblock is generally and variously toned. 19th century owner names and notes on the rear pastedown and the verso of the final leaf. A fairly nice first edition copy of this handbook for the justices of the peace. Hening was an important legal historian and certainly most recognized for his "The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, from the First Session of the Legislature in the Year 1619," the first codification of Virginia law.
