Item description from seller

A scarce first edition copy of this legal work by noted legal writer, Humphrey W Woolrych. Rebound in a very smart quarter cloth binding with marbled paper boards. Complete with half-title. To the preface, Woolrych notes that it has now been over a century since a 'distinct Treatise on the subject of Commonable Rights has been presented to the Public'. He therefore states that it would be unlikely that people would be familiar with these laws. 'It has been the object of the Author of this Treatise, which he submits with much diffidence to the Public, to examine particularly each species of Common, to investigate the rights of Lords and Commoners' Woolrych looks at the history and origin of Rights of Common in England, before discussing the various types of Rights and Acts relating to this. Humphry William Woolrych was an English lawyer who is remembered for his many legal and biographical writings which made many aspects of the Law accessible to a wider audience. Other works by him include 'Laws of Waters and Sewers', 'Law of Window Lights', 'New Highways Act'. An accessible and well-described insight into this part of English law. Rebound, in a lovely quarter cloth binding with marbled paper boards. Externally, excellent with minor shelfwear. Prior owner's inscriptions to the recto of front endpaper and to the half-title. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright. Prior owner's occasional marginal notes and underlining in pencil to the occasional page. The notations do not obstruct the text. Light spots to the first and last few pages, otherwise just the odd spots to pages. Very Good Indeed.…
