Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Handwritten Letter Signed by MP Lord Arthur John Edward Russell to Lady Maine. Dated 1888.

Sir Henry James Sumner Maine 1822-1888, was a British Whig comparative jurist and historian. He is famous for the thesis outlined in his book Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract."
