About This Item
London: [London:] printed by W. Strahan, and M. Woodfall, law printers to the King's most excellent Majesty: for P. Uriel, Inner-Temple Lane; E. Brooke, Bell-Yard; Whieldon and Co. Fleet-Street; and R. Critchet, Chancery-Lane. M DCC LXXX. [1780], 1780. 4th Edition . Leather. Very Good. Description: Folio (15¾ × 10¼ in): [24], 504, [12] p. Uncut in quarter-calf over bare boards. · Register: 2º: [pi]² a-b² *a-c² B-6R². · Condition: Leather decayed, boards worn, cords holding. Internally bright and clean. · Comments: First eighteenth century edition. There is some doubt whether the work is Sheppard's. Originally published in the mid-seventeenth century, it had fallen into obscurity until Chief Justice Willes spoke favorably of it from the bench. In his preface to this edition, Hilliard minimizes his contribution; however, his notes, some extensive, appear at the foot of almost every page. · References: ODNB, Nancy L.
