Full title - THE REVISED CODE OF LAWS, OF ILLINOIS, CONTAINING THOSE OF A GENERAL AND PERMANENT NATURE PASSED BY THE SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AT THEIR SESSION HELD AT VANDALIA, COMMENCING ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF DECEMBER, 1828; AND THOSE ENACTED PREVIOUS THERETO, AND ORDERED BY THE SAID GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO BE RE-PUBLISHED. PUBLISHED IN PURSUANCE OF LAW. 278 pages. Hardcover: H 19.75cm x L 12.5cm. Rebound in dark olive buckram cloth (1940s/50s?) with addition of new endpapers and new rear flyleaf; strong surface abrasions to spine and front board and at edges of rear board; spine's title and year labels lacking exposing their discolored patches. Interior leaves appear to have been trimmed when rebound as margins are unusually slender particularly at gutters. Bookplate of Lucius Bryan Dabney on front pastedown. Foxing/toning prevalent to leaves throughout. Binding is firm. Includes: "Reports of the Auditor and Treasurer, to the General Assembly, December, 1828." on pages 245-252; Index on pages 253-278. Scottish immigrant Alexander Fraser Grant (1805-1836) was a circuit court judge in Gallatin County, Illinois and, although cited in the imprint as publisher, Grant was not a printer which is likely why that role was contracted to the Cincinnati firm of Lodge, L'Hommedieu & Hammond who published the Daily Cincinnati Gazette newspaper starting in 1827. This book was acquired from the estate of Vicksburg, Mississippi attorney Lucius Bryan Dabney Sr., 1893-1967, (with his aforementioned bookplate) whose insightful, ardent, and voluminous accumulation of Mississippi Valley-related books and papers is preserved as the Natchez Trace Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. {Law-Shelf#1}.
