VOLUME I ONLY of a two volume set. Spine title "Archbold's Nisi Prius Notes by J.K. Findlay." Third American from the second London edition, with notes referring to the latest American decisions. [4], [4], ix-lxiv, 65-739 pages. Hardcover: H 23.75cm x L 15.25cm. Contemporary full brown leather; boards well rubbed with some staining; slender wear along board edges particularly at corners; some splitting at both joints causing some pliability to boards; spine leather abraded and slightly furrowed with surface chip near heel; gilt lettering to spine's muted red and black labels; owner label "Gaston Henderson" affixed near spine heel. Varied foxing/toning and some moisture staining to leaves; several leaves creased from folds; two Henderson pencil signatures on front pastedown along with ink signature "John J.V. Dennis;" pencil notes on rear free endpaper. A few stress points to binding but text block overall remains firm. Four pages of publisher advertisements at front of book. Acquired from an estate of a Columbus, Mississippi attorney who accumulated antiquarian law tomes from more senior Columbus colleagues upon their retirements; the book's original owner should be William Gaston Henderson (1828-1902) who initially served as a captain in Company B (aka "Chickasaw Rangers"), Jeff Davis Legion, Mississippi Cavalry but, at the end of the Civil War, was paroled as a lieutenant colonel in the 5th Mississippi Cavalry; cursory research does not indicate where Henderson practiced law but his enrollment in a Chickasaw County unit indicates residence in north central Mississippi but graveyard records indicate that Henderson is buried in Biloxi, Mississippi. Please note that this thick book has an approximate shipping weight of 3.75 pounds (1.7 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail. {LawShelf#1}.…
