The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England; Or, a Commentary Upon Littleton: Not the Name of the Author Only, But of the Law Itself

Stated revised fifteenth edition. Revised and corrected, with further additions of notes, references, and proper tables by Francis Hargrave and Charles Butler. Fold-out illustrated black-and-white family tree of the author's parentage and kinship with Latin text. Approximately 1,000 pages. Decorated papercovered boards with a leather spine with gilt. Owner name on the title page, foxing throughout, the boards are detached but remain partially connected to the spine by old tape repairs, and some of the signatures are coming loose, thus fair only. Also includes the notes of Lord Chief Justice Hale and Lord Chancellor Nottingham as well as "An Analysis of Littleton" written by an unknown hand in 1658-9.
