Item description from seller

Charleston: Steam-Power Press Walker & James, 1850. Rare 1850 Pamphlet Proposing Reforms to South Carolina's Court System [Courts]. [South Carolina]. The Present Judiciary System of South-Carolina; Its Defects Reviewed and Modes Suggested for Its Improvement [From the Southern Quarterly Review.] Charleston: Steam-Power Press of Walker & James, 1850. 24 pp. Octavo (8-3/4" x 5-1/2"). Stab-stitched pamphlet in recent plain wrappers. Light toning, light wear to outer corners of text block, light foxing in places, a few minor smudges to title page. $650. * Only edition (as a pamphlet). The author, identified as "P" at the end of the text, describes the deficiencies of South Carolina's court system, mainly the small number of judges, who are overworked. Because they are kept "at a sort of mill-horse progress, round and round, through incessant circuits," they have "little of the necessary leisure for research, by which, alone, they can be enabled to keep pace with the progress of the profession" (4). As one would expect, the main proposed solution is the appointment of more judges with a corresponding reorganization of the court system that would minimize circuit riding.
