The Bar of Rye Township, Westchester County New York: An Historical and Biographical Record 1660-1918. [New York: The Knickerbocker Press, 1918]. xv, 347 pp. Frontispiece. Plates. One of 250 copies printed, this is number 159. Signed by the author on the half-title. Publisher's blue cloth, deckle fore and bottom edges. Light shelfwear; a good copy. A signed example of this scarce local legal history, issued in a small edition. Wilcox, a Port Chester attorney and legal writer, compiled here a detailed biographical register of the bar of Rye Township-embracing Mamaroneck, Port Chester, and Rye-from the colonial period through the early twentieth century. The work preserves a substantial body of professional and genealogical detail not readily recoverable from standard sources, and remains an important reference for the legal and civic history of Westchester County.
