Recent period-style quarter calf over cloth, lettering piece, gilt fillets to spine, endpapers renewed. Early owner signature to title page, occasional light foxing, interior otherwise fresh. $95. * Only edition. "The object of [this] treatise is to embody the practice of conveyancers relating to evidence. It is in many cases difficult to define that practice accurately; and a poll of the profession would probably yield a chequered result. In such cases an opinion only can be hazarded; and on points which appear more settled, it is possible for an individual to be mistaken in the usages of a widely diffused and unassociated Body.... [T]he present writer... presumes to offer a record of his limited experience, in the hope that his unassuming tract will at least afford a rallying point for the accumulation of knowledge on a very important topic to the conveyancer.": Preface, iii.
