    London: J. Sewell [et al.], 1791. (illustrator). London: J. Sewell [et al.], 1791. In a Handsome Contemporary Chippendale Binding Prujean, John. A Treatise Upon the Laws of England Now in Force for the Recovery of Debt, Pointing Out the Many Abuses of Them; Together with a Plan for Administering More Speedy and Equitable Justice to Creditors and to Debtors. By John Prujean, Esq. of Gray's-Inn; And Dedicated, With Permission, To His Grace the Duke of Norfolk. London: Printed for the Author: And Sold by J. Sewell [et al.], 1791. xix, [1], 135, [1] pp. With a half-title. Octavo (8-1/4" x 4-3/4"; 20.9 x 12.1 cm). Contemporary Chippendale-style gilt-paneled tree calf, gilt ornaments to corners, gilt spine with lettering piece, gilt tooling to outer and inner board edges, marbled endpapers, silk ribbon bookmark. Light rubbing and a few small, shallow nicks and scratches to boards, moderate rubbing to extremities, joints starting at ends, chipping to spine ends, corners bumped and worn. Light toning to interior, negligible light foxing to a few leaves, internally clean. A handsome copy. $1,500. * Only London edition, published in Dublin the same year. Bankruptcy reform was a major economic and political issue in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Britain. This treatise sharply criticizes the existing laws on debt, recovery and bankruptcy and calls for their repeal. The author argues that the existing punishments (debtor's prison or exile) are unjust and do little to serve as a deterrent. He also points out that the existing law incentivizes predatory, frivolous or even false claims, and calls for the appointment of commissioners to help determine the legitimacy of bankruptcy suits. Popular in the 1780s and 1790s, Chippendale-style bindings like our example were influenced by the "elegant neoclassicism" of the period and feature gilt ornaments with classically inspired designs (Bennett). Both the London and Dublin editions are rare. OCLC and the English Short-Title Catalogue locate 9 copies of the London edition, 2 in North America (University of Alberta, Harvard Law School). Bennett, Trade Bookbinding in the British Isles, 1660-1800 54. English Short-Title Catalogue T90690.
