Notes for the Use of the Students of the Municipal Law in the University of Edinburgh: Being a Supplement to Sir George MacKenzie’s Institutions (with) Institutions of the Criminal Law of Scotland

Size: 6"-7" - Sextodecimo (16mo). 226 pages. Item Type: Book. The text block is tight. The pages are lightly tanned, but remain bright and without any foxing and only minimal scattered spotting. However, any blank leaves are missing, so the block begins with the title page and ends with the final page of text. As a result, the first and last pages are heavily browned around the edges where they have been exposed to the glue from the inside covers. Bound in calf over boards. The leather is heavily worn, particularly at the corners where the boards are showing through. The spine has six compartments, but is missing the label for the title. The hinges are heavily worn with a 2 1/2" split at the head of the front hinge (though the cords are holding) and 3/8" at the head of the rear hinge. The end papers and blank leaves are missing from the front and rear, exposing the hinges. Two previous owners have signed their names on the verso of the title page: John Blair (crossed through) and John Callander. Page edges are browned. Quantity Available: 1.
