ONLY EDITION. With an appendix of forms. As Horwitz has pointed out, this is “the fi rst American treatise on commercial law.” Surrency notes that it was also the fi rst to deal with admiralty law. It focused on shipping and maritime commerce, with substantial sections on insurance and bankruptcy. Refl ecting the tension that existed between arbitrators and courts of law, Caines insisted that “in what appertains to trade, let it be constantly remembered, that custom alone is law” (220). Among other topics, this treatise has fascinating entries on the slave trade and the character of different ports. Caines was the offi cial reporter of the New York Supreme Court.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE DISCUSSES RECONSTRUCTION WITH THE WIFE OF A CIVIL WAR GENERAL

13 CHASE, SALMON P. [1808-1873]. [MCDOWELL, HELEN (1826-1891)]. [Autograph Letter, Signed, As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, To Mrs. Irvin McDowell]. Washington, 24 April 1866. Leaf folded to form four-page 5” x 8” bifolium, written in ink

Light toning, two horizontal and one vertical fold lines. Tear to ends of vertical fold, otherwise fi ne. $1,500.

“I CANNOT HELP FEELING GRAVE CONCERN FOR THE COUNTRY,” Chase tells Mrs. McDowell. He fears “new convulsions” from former slave owners restored to prominence by President Andrew Johnson’s lax reconstruction policies. “How strange it seems, this extensive change which has happened in these last four years! How wonderful the transition and the events: and yet how little the wiser we seem to be for them all. To me it’s been as if the very same elements of disturbance were being permitted, and in new names & character to prepare new convulsions. I cannot help feeling grave concern for the country; and should be really heartsick if I did not remember that God rules; & that God is Love, and that thousands of prayers continually go up before Him from sincere & devoted hearts that He will bring Good out of apparent evil. The controversy between the President & Congress is greatly to be deplored. Doubtless there are faults on both sides; but I think most on his. He is a Unit, Congress a Plural....and a very little consideration would have availed all our trouble.” Helen McDowell was the wife of General Irvin McDowell [1818-1885], the General best known for his defeat in the First Battle of Bull Run, the fi rst major battle of the American Civil War. Mrs. McDowell played an important role during the war through her work for the Sanitary No 13 Commission, the forerunner of the American Red Cross.

A COLORFUL ACCOUNT OF THE ONDERDONK AFFAIR

Stab-stitched pamphlet in printed wrappers. Light edgewear and soiling, wrappers partially detached, fragment of small (private?) library label to upper corner of front wrapper. Some toning, light foxing to a few leaves, internally clean. $250.

ONLY EDITION. This crude and, frankly, entertaining pamphlet is one of many inspired by the Onderdonk controversy, a notable scandal that combined sexual misconduct, theological controversy and the public disgrace of a religious leader. Benjamin T. Onderdonk, the Episcopal bishop of New York, was accused of sexual misconduct and ultimately suspended from his pulpit by the House of Bishops. Onderdonk argued that the charges were politically motivated by liberal members of the diocese who disliked his conservative ideas (infl uenced by the English Oxford Movement). Onderdonk was later reinstated and maintained his offi ce until his death in 1861. The validity of the charge was never resolved, but its heady mix of sex, theology and public disgrace brought forth a wave of popular literature. Sabin 71132.

A CASE OF ARSON IN GLOUCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS

28 [TRIAL]. LOOKER-ON IN VIENNA. Trial of Marshall and Ross for Barn-Burning: A Brief Exposure of a Systematic Attempt to Mislead the Public Mind, And Create a False Sympathy in Behalf of Convicted Incendiaries. [Gloucester, MA: S.n.], 1859. 20 pp. Octavo (8-3/4” x 5-1/2”).

Stab-stitched pamphlet in printed wrappers. Light soiling and negligible edgewear, rear wrapper lacking, light toning to text. $650.

ONLY EDITION. Marshall and Ross (we are never given their fi rst names) were a tenant and hired hand of a Mr. Niles, a farmer. They were convicted of arson after Niles’s barns were destroyed by fi re. This verdict seemed unfair and the defense attorney petitioned successfully for an appeal. Published in the weeks leading up to the second trial, this pamphlet offers an argument for their conviction. An interesting case, it is also a fi ne record of the social setting of criminal law in small-town New England in the mid-nineteenth century.

Vice-Warden of the Stannery Court, In the County of Devon; Which Trial Took Place Before Mr. Justice Borrough, One of the Judges of the Court of King’s Bench, On Wednesday, The 5th of August, 1818, At the Town of Bodmin, In the County of Cornwall. To Which is Prefi xed a Letter to Miss Tocker, And to Which is Added an Address to Jury-Men on Their Duties as Jurors, And Especially on Trials for Criminal Libel. New York: Printed for William Cobbett, By Clayton & Kingsland, 1818. 48 pp. Octavo (7” x 4-1/2”).

Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet. Moderate toning and light foxing to text, title page partially detached but secure. Early signature to head of title page, text otherwise clean. $850.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, the best account of this notable case. Tocker was prosecuted for libel upon on a local offi cial. She represented herself and was exonerated by the jury, who declared that her accusations were true. “Miss Tocker achieved great fame in radical circles by the spirited manner in which she conducted her own defense. (...) Cobbett, too, was delighted with ‘Miss Tocker’s triumph,’ in part by her appeal to the jury over the head of the judge, the unpopular Sir James Burrough (...) whom Cobbett himself had faced in 1809” (Pearl). Although there are several London editions, the American edition is the only one with additions by Cobbett, which are considerable, including the text of a letter to Tocker dated North Hempstead, Long Island, November 2, 1818 and notes to ten pages of the trial transcript. This edition was reprinted in Boston by Coverly “from the 3rd New York Edition.” However, OCLC and Pearl list no edition other than ours.

NOTABLE ESSAYS BY A NOTABLE EARLY AMERICAN ECONOMIST AND POLITICAL THINKER

Political Essays on the Nature and Operation of Money, Public Finances, And Other Subjects: Published During the American War, And Continued up to the Present Year, 1791. Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by Joseph Crukshank, 1791. viii, 504 pp. Octavo (7-3/4” x 4-3/4”).

ONLY EDITION. Pelatiah Webster, a Yale-educated Philadelphia merchant, is often cited as America’s fi rst economist. He wrote several essays on the subject and was often consulted by the Continental Congress on economic matters. He was also a notable political thinker. Indeed, he is remembered today for his “Dissertation of the Political Union and Constitution of the Thirteen United States of North America” (1783), which argued for a new constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. This essay was studied carefully by members of the Constitutional Convention. He played a large part in the struggle for ratifi cation, and his arguments, based on historical and economic principles, were infl uential. Political Essays collects all of his principal writings. In addition to the “Dissertation,” it includes, among other essays, “An Essay on the Danger of Too Much Circulating Cash in a State,” No 33 “An Essay on Free Trade and Finance,” “Strictures on Tender-Acts,” “An Essay on the Economy, Policy, And Resources of the Thirteen States, And the Means of Their Preservation,” “A Dissertation on the Nature, Authority, And Uses of the Offi ce of a Financier-General,” “Remarks on the Resolution of Council, Of the 2d May, 1781, for Raising the Exchange to 175 Continental Dollars for One Hard,” “Remarks on the address of sixteen members of the Assembly of Pennsylvania to their Constituents, Dated Sept. 29, 1787, “An Essay on credit,” “Strictures on the Net Produce of Great-Britain in the Year 1784” and “An Essay on the Extent and Value of Our Western Inlocated Lands.” Kress 2235.

FIRST EDITION, one of two imprints from that year (1682 publication date conjectured by Wing). This classic layman’s guide reviews, from a Whig perspective, the principles of English law and government. It emphasizes the role of Magna Carta, Parliament and juries in the preservation of civil rights and prevention of tyranny. First published in America in 1721, it had a profound infl uence on several colonial readers, including the founding fathers. It was the primary source for William Penn’s Excellent Priviledge of Liberty and Property (1687), a work that inspired support for the revolution. George Mason used it when drafting Virginia’s Declaration of Rights (1776). Jefferson, who owned this edition and another copy, printed in London in 1719, probably referred to it when he wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Its infl uence is also evident in the Bill of Rights. OCLC locates 2 copies of this imprint (at Harvard Law School and the Library of Congress, Law Division). The two undated imprints were followed by a series of dated imprints, the fi rst from 1682. Sowerby 2702, 2703. Wing C515. ESTC R32534.

ONLY EDITION. Davies is an important fi gure in English and Irish constitutional history. Also a notable poet, he was attorney general for Ireland. During that time he framed several legal principles that were used to support the growth of the British Empire. England’s Independency refl ects his fear of the pro- Catholic King Charles II. It warns the king to restrict his support through a clever reading of the Act of Supremacy. Issued by King No 45 Henry VIII in 1534, it declared the king to be the “supreme head on earth of the Church in England” in place of the pope. Therefore, he argues, any sympathy towards Catholicism is treasonous because it cedes power to the pope, who, like the king, claims political power over his followers.

THIS TEXTUALLY RICH VOLUME is a fi ne record of the activities of a northern English law society around the turn of the twentieth century. It includes minutes of meetings, notices and notes of debates between the Sheffi eld society and others in Yorkshire and other places, newspaper articles about these debates, which range from political topics, such as the abolition of trade unions, to fi ne points of law. There are also syllabi of meetings, printed committee reports, notes about membership, a note asking members to subscribe for a course of law classes at the Yorkshire College in Leeds, notes of special meetings, reports of the Congress of Law Students’ Societies of Yorkshire, applications form and other correspondence, some relating to broader topics in legal education. The members of the Sheffi eld Law Students’ Society, like those of other societies that emerged across England in the nineteenth century, were not attached to a college of inn of court. They were articled clerks and autodidacts. The aims of the societies like Sheffi eld’s were the encouragement of a more systematic legal education though correspondence between members on moot points and the organization of debates. These societies were inspired by the founding of the Law Students’ Magazine in 1844. Most major English cities had a society by the end of the nineteenth century. No 58

THE FIRST EDITION entitled Les Termes de la Ley. First published in 1527 by John Rastell, this was both the fi rst English dictionary and fi rst English law dictionary. It was originally written in Law French with the Latin title Expositiones Terminorum Legum Anglorumae. Later editions were produced by his son, William, who is believed to be the editor or translator. (Some sources claim, erroneously, that he is the author.) Quite popular with students and lawyers due to its clarity and concision, it went through at least twenty-fi ve editions by 1721. A fi nal reissue appeared in 1819. As Marvin observes, it is a useful dictionary because it “refl ects the common law at the close of the year-book period with much fi delity.” OCLC locates 6 copies of this imprint worldwide, 5 in North America, 3 in law libraries (Library of Congress, University of Minnesota, University of Pennsylvania).

THE FIRST CRITICAL EDITION. With extensive notes (the fi rst 122 pages) in English, a life of Ruggle, commentary explaining the jokes and an extensive glossary of legal terms. Main text in Latin. Ruggles’ classic acerbic satire of the English bench and bar was written in Latin and fi rst performed in 1615. Designed to ridicule the language of the common law and the dullness of lawyers, the play is based on events relating to a legal dispute between the vice-chancellor of Cambridge University and the mayor of Cambridge. As one would expect, it incensed the legal No 69 community. ESTC T154171.

FIRST EDITION. Published anonymously, attributed by Wing to John Somers. See also Halkett & Laing. This infl uential pamphlet defi ned a hearing before a grand jury of peers as a fundamental English right. An assertion of the priority of the law over the English crown, it was written to support the right of a grand jury to reject the bill of indictment against Anthony Ashley-Cooper, First Earl of Shaftesbury, issued by Charles II (a Catholic). Somers, a barrister of the Middle Temple and an important Whig statesman, was Lord Chancellor of England during the reigns of William and Mary and Queen Anne. He presided over the framing of the Bill of Rights (1689). As one would suspect, this book was studied by the American founding fathers. OCLC locates 9 copies of this edition No 75 in law libraries.

FIRST EDITION. This treatise deals with civil and criminal remedies in Roman, canon and feudal law. Little is known about Costa. The title page identifi es him as a highly placed canon lawyer attached to the Vatican. The presence of a portrait frontispiece, with a cartouche bearing his arms, indicates that he was an important man. Costa is not to be confused with the French jurist Jean Lacoste (de la Coste) [1560-1637]. Costa’s treatise went thought two later editions in 1629 and 1630. All three are rare.

FIRST EDITION with contributions by Godefroy. Also known as the Hexabible, this digest of Byzantine law was compiled around 1346. After the collapse of the Byzantine Empire it became the code of laws for Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman Empire. It was the civil code of Greece from the time of its independence to 1947. As indicated by its title, the Hexabible has six sections: I. General Principles, II. Property Law, III. Law of Nations, IV. Law Obligations, V. Family Law and Inheritance and VI. Criminal Law. It circulated widely in manuscript and was fi rst published in Paris in 1540. The fi rst Latin translation followed in 1547. The fi rst edition of Mercier’s superior translation was published in Lyons in 1556. The 1587 is edited by the great humanist jurist Godefroy, who added a series of digested notes (paratitla) and a Greek-Latin dictionary of legal terms. It went though several subsequent editions. OCLC locates 4 copies in North American law libraries, all of the 1587 edition (Columbia, University of Georgia, UC-Berkeley, Yale). Adams H68.

LEONI (LEONIUS) WAS A LEGAL ADVISOR to the duke of Ferrara. Published in two parts in January and December of 1557, Rubrica is a commentary on the fi rst section of Book 45 of the Digest, which deals with contracts and obligations. Zanchi’s treatise addresses inheritance and succession in Roman law. It was a well-received work; it went through subsequent editions in 1566, 1576 and 1602. Zanchi, a former-Augustinian monk, converted to Protestantism and spent much of his professional life as a professor of theology at the University of Heidelberg. One of the fi rst great contributors to the development of Protestant theology and natural law, his legal studies dealt mostly with issues of political power and the defi nition of just and unjust laws.

LATER EDITION. A work of great authority, this popular dictionary was fi rst published in 1559. It went through more than twenty-fi ve editions, with several variations in content, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. All editions have two principal parts: the fi fteenth-century Vocabularius attributed to Jacobus of Erfurt and Nebrija’s Lexicon Iuris Civilis. It is a curious No 120 hybrid of late-medieval and renaissance scholarship; the former work is a typical scholastic compilation, the latter is a humanistic work grounded in philology and historical commentary. Nebrija was an important Spanish scholar and educator. Educated at the universities of Salamanca and Bologna, he read widely in law, medicine and theology. His philological work, which included the fi rst Spanish grammar and dictionary, led to the standardization of the language. In 1502 he was a member of a group of scholars gathered by Cardinal Ximenes de Cisneros at Alcala to produce the Complutensian Polyglot Bible. This edition also includes Caccialupi’s Tractatus de Modo Studendi in Utroque Iure, an introductory textbook for law students.

SECOND AND FINAL EDITION. Written during the reign of Edward IV [1442-1483] and fi rst published around 1481, Littleton’s Tenures is probably the most revered treatise in the history of the common law. Much admired for its learning and style, it is concerned with land tenure and other issues relating to real property. This venerable work is a landmark because it was the fi rst treatise based on common, rather than Roman, law. Houard was a member of Parliament and respected scholar of the customary law of Normandy. His works include the four-volume Dictionnaire Analytique, Historique, Etymologique, Critique et Interpretive de la Coutume de Normandie (1780-1782). Anciennes Loix was fi rst published in 1766. As its title indicates, Houard believed that Littleton’s treatise preserved and developed a body of Norman customary laws dating from the time of the conquest. In effect, it was both a record of early Norman law and a contribution to English jurisprudence. Littleton’s text is accompanied by a French translation and numerous annotations. Both editions of this work are scarce. OCLC locates 14 copies of the second edition in North America, 9 in law libraries. This edition not in Camus or the BMC. No 153

The early English translations of the works of Hugo Grotius on the law of nations are not the product of legal scholars or legal scholarship. We are indebted primarily to theologians for their appearance, either because Grotius fi gured prominently in theological discourse at various periods after his death or because his legal writings were espoused by dons dedicated to the cause of peace who considered the Grotian contributions to the law of nations to be a constructive step in the direction of a more peaceful world community.

Though based on 2013 Hardcover (8-1/2” x 11”) $95. 978-1-61619-317-1 Christian natural law, Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. The fi rst English translation, by C. Barksdale, was published in 1654 and reissued the following year. The second, by W. Evats, was published in 1682. The 1715 edition was translated and edited by John Morrice with the assistance of Edward Littlehales (1690–1724) and John Spavan (1685–1718).

HUGO GROTIUS [1583–1645] was an infl uential Dutch jurist, philosopher and theologian. Grotius is also known for De Jure Praedae (1604), which argues against territorial sovereignty of the seas.
