About This Item
"Curiosities of the Law Reporters" by Franklin Fiske Heard. 1871 1st edition; Lee and Shepard; Boston. Found within the book was a paper slip stating "With Compliments of THE AUTHOR."
From an old book review: "This entertaining little book contains many of the stories which have amused successive generations of lawyers, traced to their sources. We know of no other such collection, for though Mr. Wallace has given some specimens of the quaint style of the old reporters, they are merely thrown in by the way; and some very modern cases cited by Mr. Heard are equally good."
Condition:
The back cover has a white stain at the bottom edge, and a few tiny white stain specks at the top edge; clean front cover and spine with bright gilt; sharp corners. The top of the spine has a small piece of cloth missing at the left half; small cloth tear at the bottom edge of the spine. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Nice interior - the pages are clean with only a few small stains at the bottom edge of the blank page facing page 1. Overall the book is in Very Good condition.
