About this Item

First edition, 8vo, pp. ix, [15], 468, [12]; 16-p. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown catalogue dated March 1814 bound in at the back; largely unopened; original blue paper-covered boards, cream paper shelfback, manuscript titling on spine; light wear and minor defects; all else very good and sound. Likely a remainder binding: the Longman ads at the end, corrected up to 1814, and the text block water-mark of 1794, suggest the volume may not have been bound in boards-until which time it remained in sheets - until 1814, since the Longman ads are bound in, not merely tipped in. Charles Fearne (1742-1794) was an English jurist. When he died he left his wife and family in dire financial circumstances, and this book was published by subscription for their benefit.
