Item description from seller

"Long a Model to Future Makers of Abridgments" Rolle, Sir Henry [1589-1656]. [Hale, Sir Matthew (1609-1676), Editor]. Un Abridgment des Plusiers Cases et Resolutions del Common Ley: Alphabeticalment Digest Desouth Severall Titles. Ouesque un Table des General Titles Contenus en Ceo. London: Printed for A. Crooke, W. Leake, [et al.], 1668. Two parts in two volumes. [xiv], 688, 725-940; 180, 171-232, 223-224, 245-524, 545-836, [8] pp. Lacking copperplate portrait frontispiece.

Moderate toning to interiors, light foxing, light soiling and spark burns in a few places, first leaf of second part partially detached, torn, edgeworn and lightly soiled, underlining and brief annotations, some in an 18th-century hand, others in two 20th-century hands, to a few places in each book, early owner name (L. Kelly) to head of title page, later owner name (A.R. Young) to its foot. $850. **THIS DESCRIPTION IS TRUNCATED DUE TO CHARACTER LIMITS. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A COMPLETE VERSION.** * Only edition. The third, and last, abridgment to contain Year Book cases, this work was consulted and cited as frequently as the abridgments of Fitzherbert and Brooke. As Holdsworth notes, "[Rolle] marks a new departure in the literature of abridgments. The older abridgments had simply digested Year Book cases under alphabetical headings. Their great defect was the heterogeneous character of the entries collected under each alphabetical head. (.) Rolle's Abridgment to some extent remedied this defect--each topic was divided.into separate headings. But what distinguishes it more markedly from the abridgments of the older type is the fact that it is more than a digest of case law. It contains summaries both of Parliamentary records and of statutes; And therefore it comes nearer than the old abridgments came to being a digest.…
