Light toning to interior, browning and light foxing to a few sections of text, corner folds to a few leaves, library markings to verso of title page, early owner inscription of Michael Calvert Dougherty dated July 4, 1854 to half-title. $750. * First edition. The first compilation of California law, this book records the state's first four years of legislation, based on the acts as enrolled (as opposed to issued in print), with notes of California Supreme Court opinions provided as applicable. It includes a detailed 100-page index. Michael Calvert Dougherty (1819-1883) was an early settler in Sonoma. Two letters in the LA County Library Digital Collections, both from 1854, identify Dougherty as California's Special Agent for the Indians on Russian River. The front pastedown bears the bookplate of the distinguished historian and bibliophile Joseph M. Gleason (1869-1942). Gleason was a prominent Catholic priest, historian, and educator in California who amassed a significant library of over 100,000 volumes. His personal bookplate is notable for its pictorial design-depicting an elderly priest at a desk with a globe-and the motto "Tamdiu discendum est quamdiu vivas" (We should learn as long as we may live).
