First edition of this codification of the laws governing the Cornish tin industry. The Convocation of Tinners exercised ancient rights of jurisdiction over much of Cornwall; customary rights exercised long before the codification of English law and which had been confirmed by royal charters since the time of Edward I. Stannary law was sanctioned by the crown in recognition of the special responsibilities of the Cornish tinners in providing a valuable raw material. It has been claimed that the right to hold Convocations has never been formally repealed by the English crown, a legal anomaly exploited by the Cornish nationalist movement. A previous codification had been printed in 1725. 8vo (195 × 120 mm.), pp. [2], 126. Contemporary red morocco, panelled spine with black morocco label, gilt, gilt edges. Slightly rubbed, most noticeable on the spine. A handsome copy. [Goldsmiths' 8776; Higgs 433; Kress 5279.].…

Under customary law, confirmed by several royal charters since Edward I, the Convocation of Stannators (i.e. tinners) had rights of jurisdiction over much of Cornwall. This power was granted and confirmed in recognition of the tin industry's economic value. The successor to a collection issued in 1725, this volume is a codification and restatement of the Convocation's laws a tradition conjecturally predating Roman Britain and originally developed from Cornish, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman sources. The stannary laws are sometimes cited today as evidence of a unique political identity by Cornish Nationalists, who claim these laws were never formally repealed by the English crown.
