Property stamps of the Association of the Bar City of New York to title page and title-page verso. Contemporary owner's signature "Henry Rogers Winthrop" to title page, with his likely manuscript annotations to page 19. Library shelf annotation to title-page verso. A very good copy. $450. Eighteenth edition, "Corrected and Improved." Written originally in Latin in 1523, this classic work contains two dialogues between a doctor of divinity and a student of English law. It popularized canonist learning on the nature and object of law, religious and moral standards, the foundations of common law, and the jurisdiction of Parliament. As a foundational text for the development of equity, Doctor and Student appeared in numerous editions and remained an authority well into the nineteenth century. This specific 1792 edition was produced by James Moore, one of Dublin's most prominent and ambitious late-eighteenth-century printers. Operating out of his well-known shop at No. 45 College Green, Moore specialized in high-quality legal treatises, parliamentary debates, and massive multi-volume reprint projects. Because British copyright restrictions did not legally apply to Ireland until the Acts of Union in 1800, Moore and his Dublin contemporaries could freely publish these affordable, handy editions. These "Dublin imprints" filled a vital gap for the legal market in the early American Republic, where British law books were otherwise scarce and prohibitively expensive. This copy features the signature and notes of Henry Rogers Winthrop (1811-1896), a prominent New York attorney. Winthrop studied law under the renowned Chancellor James Kent (1763-1847), the "American Blackstone" who shaped American equity jurisprudence. Winthrop's ownership bridges English legal tradition, early New York legal practice, and the.

London: Printed by S. Richardson and C. Lintot, 1761. Sixteenth edition. Octavo. 8" x 5"; 203 x 127 mm. [xvi], 344, [40] pp. Complete with the final errata leaf featuring a publisher's catalogue on the verso. Early 20th century tan canvas, red and black lettering pieces to spine. Text block moderately toned with light, scattered foxing. Small library property stamps of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York to the title page and its verso (with a small ink annotation). Bookplate from the library of Charles P. Daly as "A Gift of Henry R. Hoyt 1907" to front pastedown. Inscribed letter of Daly reviewing the book bound in. A very good, tight copy with an excellent association. $450. * First published in Latin in 1523, Doctor and Student was the primary vehicle through which canon law concepts of equity, conscience, and "synderesis" (the innate moral conscience) were injected into the English common law. St. German's work shifted the definition of equity away from arbitrary royal grace and toward a structured system of moral fairness within the courts. This 1761 edition is particularly notable as it was printed by Samuel Richardson-the famous novelist who ran a highly successful law printing patent-and Catherine Lintot. It also includes the crucial "thirteen chapters" on parliamentary power, which shaped the rhetoric of both British and American lawyers on the eve of the American Revolution. The added chapters on the "Power and Jurisdiction of Parliament" were highly studied by early American legal minds. Provenance: Charles P. Daly (1816-1899), Chief Justice of the New York Court of Common Pleas, with his custom bookplate on the front pastedown with bound-in manu. London, 1761. 16th ed. (illustrator).
