Item description from seller

Soho Square, 25 January 1820. Francis Const (1751–1839), legal writer, was called to the bar at the Middle Temple on 7 Feb. 1783. He wrote some epilogues and prologues, and numbered among his convivial companions Henderson, John Kemble, Stephen Storace, Twiss, Person, Dr. Bumey, and Sheridan. He edited several editions of J. T. Pratt's 'Laws relating to the Poor,' and was chairman of the Middlesex magistrates and the Westminster sessions, holding the latter office till his death on 16 Dec. 1839. By extreme parsimony and skilful speculations he amassed a fortune of 150,000l., and left legacies to many of his friends.
