The Netherlands 1743. Folio ca. 32 x 21.5 cm. Contemporary blind-tooled vellum sewn on 6 vellum supports laced through the joints with the manuscript title on the spine red sprinkled edges. With some woodcut decorated initials. 24 parts in 1 volume. 4 15 1 31 1 30 2 7 1 9 2 blank 1 4 10 2 2 2 21-27 3 1 6 20 67 1 9 2 blank 1 48 8 1 2 blank 1 8 4 10 1 1 2 2 pp. Rare collection of missives ordinances petitions and extracts from resolutions concerning the conflicts surrounding and law proceedings concerning Jacob Coren van der Mieden 1698-1751. He fled his hometown of Alkmaar in fear he would be captured by the Court of Holland. Initially the Van der Mieden family was a wealthy noble family with a good reputation. Jacob's father Aris was mayor of the city of Alkmaar Jacob was appointed bailiff of Nieuwburgen in 1731. Here one of his judicial officers ran a reign of terror. The people felt that bailiff Jacob was protecting his officer which made him very unpopular. Jacob was also lord of Callantsoog where he imprisoned the former bailiff Jan Harge in 1740 after Harge was being accused of abuse of office. The problem was that he did so under such bad conditions that the wife of Harge complained to the Court of Holland after which Harge was exonorated and the Court of Holland turned to Van der Mierde. Out of fear of being put behind bars he fled to Lent near Nijmegen. His wife Susanna Doubleth appealed the court and advocated that her husband would be tried by the local court in Alkmaar instead of the Court of Holland. These request are added in this collection. The last ordinance in the collection is the conviction of his younger brother Adriaan counselor of the Court of Holland who was accused of co-writing the requests with Susanna which were quite libel and defamatory undermining the Court of Holland as the highest judiciary institution of Holland. Adriaan was suspended from the court in 1747. The fate of Jacob van der Mieden remains unclear.With a manuscript annotation on the title page signed by G.J. van Persijn 1791. Govert Jan van Persijn was a lawyer advocaat at the Court of Holland Antonius Quirinus van Persijn was his son.

[LAW - FRENCH].
Code civil des français imprimé sur lédition originale de limprimerie de la République et des lois. Premiere-seconde partie.
Paris 1804. 12mo. Louis Courcier; Angoulême Adrien Marrot; Bordeaux Thiron and Sigal Contemporary gold-tooled calf with a black morocco title label on the spine lettered in gold marbled endpapers. 2 parts in 1 volume. 2 329 1 blank; 4 268 pp. Very rare early edition only one copy found in WorldCat of this famous French civil code published in two volumes in 1804 the year in which also the first edition appeared Paris Imprimerie de la République An XII - 1804. In 1807 its title was changed into Code Napoléon Napoleonic Code under which it is commonly known today.The initiative for drawing up a civil code of laws was taken by Napoleon Bonaparte 1769-1821 in 1800 at that time First Consul of France. The text was drafted by a commission of four eminent jurists under the presidency of the French lawyer Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès 1753-1824 who had made a first attempt in 1793 to concipiate a codification of French civil law. In France civil law was mainly based on customary law which differed greatly from each other in various parts of the country. With a single set of laws the traces of feudal law could also be eliminated as a consequence of the French Revolution.This legal code is divided into three parts comprising 36 laws and 2.281 articles written in a clear and concise style. It is known that the famous French writer Stendhal pseudonym of Marie Henri Beyle 1783-1842 read a few pages of it every day to obtain its qualities of clarity and simplicity. The first part is mainly concerned with family law the second part mainly with the property of goods and the third part mainly with contracts. After the publication in 1804 a series of new French codes of law followed: in 1806 the Code de procédure civile Code of civil procedure in 1807 the Code de commerce Commercial code in 1808 the Code dinstruction criminelle Code of criminal procedure and in 1810 by the Code pénal Criminal code. Due to Napoleons occupations to Germany Italy the Low Countries and Poland the French civil code became highly influential in European legal history. It still leaves its mark in private law particularly in the field of contract law family law and property law.With traces of use binding slightly worn along the extremities two corners of the back cover slightly damaged first free endpaper missing owners entry in black ink on the title-page of the first part a few text pages loosening occasionally slightly soiled/browned. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

The work describes the operation of the courts the forms of writs and the interpretation of legal terminology during the reign of Edward I of England. The work was edited by John Selden 1585-1654 but authored by an anonymous author who is sometimes referred to as "Fleta". However this was not a personal name but a title derived from the works preface which notes that it was written in Fleet Prison.It was John Selden who brought this ancient treatise to the public's attention with the first printed edition in 1647 and his substantial appended dissertation pp. 453-553 which offers rich commentary on Bracton Britton Fleta and related works. It also provides a compelling examination of the influence of Roman Imperial law in England-tracing its introduction application duration and eventual decline within the royal courts at Westminster. While Bracton is rightly celebrated as a foundational figure in the development of English legal thought Fleta deserves recognition for clarifying and illustrating complex aspects of its predecessors work.With the bookplate of John Evelyn 1620-1706 mounted on the front pastedown.

[LAW - LOUISIANA] MARTIN, Francois-Xavier
The History of Louisiana from the Earliest Period copy of John T. Ludeling
New Orleans: A.T. Penniman & Co 1827-29. First Edition. First printing. Two octavo volumes. Early straight-grained morocco over marbled boards; gilt spine-titles; pp. lxxxiii 364; iii--xv 429pp. Half-titles present. Rubbing to board edges and spine ends with heavier rubbing at crowns and board corners; foxing generally mild more conspicuous but not obtrusive to a few gatherings in each volume. A well-preserved example in an attractive early binding Very Good. With ownership signature to both volumes of John T. Ludeling see note. <br /> <br /> A desirable copy of this early keystone work of Louisiana history. Author François-Xavier Martin 1762-1846 born in France emigrated to North Carolina around 1783 establishing himself first as a printer and then after reading law as a legal scholar and jurist. He entered politics in 1806 and in 1809 was appointed to be the first Attorney General of the newly-acquired Territory of Orleans. As an eye witness to and active protagonist in the legal establishment of the state of Louisiana in 1812 Martin was in a unique position to pen the current history. Though the work was never a popular success - possibly due to Martin's stilted legalistic style which resulted in a work described by his contemporary Charles Gayarré as "lifeless as the minutes and records of proceedings in a court of justice" - subsequent historians have praised the History as for example ".one of the best examinations of the judicial structure from the colonial period to the early nineteenth century. Martin's History of Louisiana has withstood the test of time becoming not only a useful secondary source but also an important primary document." see Mark F. Fernandez From Chaos to Continuity : The Evolution of Louisiana's Judicial System 1712-1862. Baton Rouge: 2001.<br /> <br /> In addition to serving as Louisiana's first Attorney General Martin served for a decade 1836-46 as Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court a fact that lends special interest to this copy of the History which bears the ownership markings of John Theodore Ludeling 1827-1891. Ludeling a prominent Louisiana-born lawyer and jurist just one generation removed from Martin would serve as the Court's Chief Justice from 1868-1877 - and no doubt would have approached the current work with special interest as both a primer on the State's early legal history as well as the product of a distinguished direct predecessor. A notable and well-preserved copy of an uncommon work. SABIN 44871. HOWES M-332. A.T. Penniman & Co unknown

Ownership stamp of Lady Ulrica Thynne d. 1916 to front endpaper. A Near Fine copy with a bit of light scattered foxing throughout.

A scarce work in translation which was only distributed among friends and family OCLC reports copies of Giustina at only 6 libraries. The present is the only example on the market.<br /> <br /> A narrative poem in three cantos Giustina is a romance set in Spain but clearly commenting on the hypocrisy of patriarchy and the English marriage economy. Driven by "that deep confiding trust which flows from the chaste Fondness only woman knows" Giustina chooses Alonzo as her mate. She is after all pure of heart and shaped by the advice that a woman should not be mercenary. The great tragedy for Giustina and Alonzo however is that economic concerns do enter into marriage. Despite returning Giustina's love "He could not brook that she whose heart he won Should stoop to poverty--by love undone!" Alonzo aware of Giustina's economic precarity if they wed -- cut off from by her father dependent on his scant earnings -- is the realist. A long separation unhappiness and ill health linked to the realization that his line will end with Giustina's death lead her father to agree to the couple's marriage and to allowing his daughter's dowry and inheritance. But alas -- upon the reunion Alonzo too has suffered such poor health that he survives only through their wedding day. The financially driven marriage system has created a young widow and ended the line of inheritance for her family committing her instead to the care of her aging father.<br /> <br /> Jackson 195.4.

Miscellaneous Poems. Dedicated to Joseph Jekyll Esq. Bound with Views in London. By an Amateur.Dedicated to Sophia Countess Darlington Bound with Miscellaneous Poems. Dedicated to Lord Colchester Presentation Copy
London: Not Published 1849. First editions. Three volumes bound in one and including a presentation inscription to the verso of front endpaper: "The Marchioness of Salisbury with Lady Colchester's Love." Additional signature to title of second volume. Full straight grain morocco presentation binding by White of Pall Mall with gilt title to spine. Boards and turn-downs stamped in gilt. All edges brightly gilt. Yellow endpapers. Measuring 187 x 111mm bound in reverse chronological order and collating complete with half titles: 8 61 1; viii 66; 2 vi 104. Spine sunned and a large patch of discoloration to the rear board; joints cracked but holding firm. Occasional marginal foxing but overall fresh with the author's occasional handwritten corrections. Each printed privately Law's poetry titles are each scarce with OCLC reporting 15 10 and 8 copies respectively. Drawn together here with feminist political associations Lady Colchester bestows the works on Mary the second Marchioness of Salisbury nee Sackville-West who was an active Tory in addition to overseeing a salon that included Charles Darwin and Benjamin Disraeli among its visitors.<br /> <br /> The author of several privately printed poetry collections in addition to published translations Elizabeth Susan Law Abbot Lady Colchester was noted in her own time for deploying "anecdotal self-deprecating and ironic" tones that complicated her otherwise polite literary output Comic Women's Poetry of the 19th Century. The three books combined here demonstrate that tendency. Folded within seemingly common upper-class topics are reflections on intelligent women's loneliness in a marriage economy that devalued their selfhood in the opening poem Le Beau Ideel of her volume dedicated to Lord Colchester; on the ways a woman's appearance might cause society to overlook her "rarest gifts.a head with heart combin'd" in the dedication of her volume to the late Sophia Countess Darlington; and on exercises of musical lyricism and translation in the volume dedicated to Joseph Jekyll the political raconteur best known for ensuring that his friend Ignatius Sancho's biography reached publication and spread the story of his birth during the Middle Passage and his life as a free Black intellectual.<br /> <br /> Even Lady Colchester's recipient speaks to her political interests. Mary the Marchioness of Salisbury was the second wife of the Marquess; and she was noted for her public engagement with political and intellectual figures including Benjamin Disraeli and Charles Darwin. Knowing of the Marchioness' own intellect and ambition her choice to present these three books speaks to the deeper meanings hidden within her own writing.<br /> <br /> Jackson 193.3 and 193.6.

[LAW, John (1671-1729)]
The Great Mirror of Folly. Het groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid vertoonende de opkomst voortgang en ondergang der Actie Bubbel en Windnegotie in Vrankrijk Engeland en de Nederlanden
Amsterdam 1725. Folio. 15 3/8 x 10 inches. Title printed in red and black. Folding engraved frontispiece engraved list of plates within a decorative surround 1 title page and 87 engraved plates maps and broadsides 40 double-page 22 folding single-page 6 folding double-page and 17 single-page. Includes some plates with multiple variants. Vellum tooled gilt with 8 raised bands forming 9 compartments spine gilt morocco lettering piece in second compartment<br/> <br/> A rare work exhibiting a collection of contemporary satirical prints relating to the financial exploits of John Law and his infamous Mississippi Bubble.<br/> <br/> John Law 21 April 1671 - 21 March 1729 was a Scottish economist who believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself and that national wealth depended on trade. He is said to be the father of finance responsible for the adoption or use of paper money or bills in the world today. Law was a gambler and a brilliant mental calculator and was known to win card games by mentally calculating the odds. An expert in statistics he was the originator of economic theories including two major ideas: The Scarcity Theory of Value and the Real bills doctrine. The present work records the economic crisis precipitated by Law. The crisis had its origins in the decision of the French regent Philippe d'Orléans to appoint John Law the Controller General of Finances for France. In May 1716 the Banque Générale Privée which developed the use of paper money was set up by Law. It was a private bank but three quarters of the capital consisted of government bills and government accepted notes. In August 1717 he bought the Mississippi Company to help the French colony in Louisiana. In 1717 he also brokered the sale of Thomas Pitt's diamond to the regent Philippe d'Orléans. In the same year Law floated the Mississippi Company as a joint stock trading company called the Compagnie d'Occident which was granted a trade monopoly of the West Indies and North America. The bank became the Banque Royale in 1718 meaning the notes were guaranteed by the king. The Company absorbed the Compagnie des Indes Orientales Compagnie de Chine and other rival trading companies and became the Compagnie Perpetuelle des Indes on 23 May 1719 with a monopoly of commerce on all the seas. The system however encouraged speculation in shares in The Company of the Indies the shares becoming a sort of paper currency. In 1720 the bank and company were united and Law was appointed Controller General of Finances to attract capital. Law's pioneering note-issuing bank was extremely successful until it collapsed and caused an economic crisis in France and across Europe.

[LAW, John (1671-1729)]
The Great Mirror of Folly. Het groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid vertoonende de opkomst voortgang en ondergang der Actie Bubbel en Windnegotie in Vrankrijk Engeland en de Nederlanden
Amsterdam 1725. Folio. 15 3/8 x 9 3/4 inches. Title printed in red and black. Folding engraved frontispiece engraved list of plates within a decorative surround 72 engraved plates maps and broadsides on 73 leaves 5 of the single-page plates cut to the edge of the image and mounted as issued 45 double-page 19 folding and including 10 which combine both engraving and letterpress text one plate loosely inserted 2 with sections of blank margins torn away some other clean tears occasionally affecting the image area. Contemporary Dutch speckled calf spine in eight compartments with raised bands red morocco lettering-piece in the second compartment repeat decoration in gilt in the others.<br/> <br/> A rare work exhibiting a collection of contemporary satirical prints relating to the financial exploits of John Law and his infamous Mississippi Bubble.<br/> <br/> John Law 21 April 1671 - 21 March 1729 was a Scottish economist who believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself and that national wealth depended on trade. He is said to be the father of finance responsible for the adoption or use of paper money or bills in the world today. Law was a gambler and a brilliant mental calculator and was known to win card games by mentally calculating the odds. An expert in statistics he was the originator of economic theories including two major ideas: The Scarcity Theory of Value and the Real bills doctrine. The present work records the economic crisis precipitated by Law. The crisis had its origins in the decision of the French regent Philippe d'Orléans to appoint John Law the Controller General of Finances for France. In May 1716 the Banque Générale Privée which developed the use of paper money was set up by Law. It was a private bank but three quarters of the capital consisted of government bills and government accepted notes. In August 1717 he bought the Mississippi Company to help the French colony in Louisiana. In 1717 he also brokered the sale of Thomas Pitt's diamond to the regent Philippe d'Orléans. In the same year Law floated the Mississippi Company as a joint stock trading company called the Compagnie d'Occident which was granted a trade monopoly of the West Indies and North America. The bank became the Banque Royale in 1718 meaning the notes were guaranteed by the king. The Company absorbed the Compagnie des Indes Orientales Compagnie de Chine and other rival trading companies and became the Compagnie Perpetuelle des Indes on 23 May 1719 with a monopoly of commerce on all the seas. The system however encouraged speculation in shares in The Company of the Indies the shares becoming a sort of paper currency. In 1720 the bank and company were united and Law was appointed Controller General of Finances to attract capital. Law's pioneering note-issuing bank was extremely successful until it collapsed and caused an economic crisis in France and across Europe. Law exaggerated the wealth of Louisiana with an effective marketing scheme which led to wild speculation on the shares of the company in 1719. In February 1720 it was valued for a very high future cash flow at 10000 livres. Shares rose from 500 livres in 1719 to as much as 15000 livres in the first half of 1720 but by the summer of 1720 there was a sudden decline in confidence leading to a 97 percent decline in market capitalization by 1721. Predictably the bubble burst at the end of 1720 when opponents of the financier attempted en masse to convert their notes into specie. By the end of 1720 Philippe II dismissed Law who then fled from France. Originally published by a group of Amsterdam booksellers the work has a convoluted bibliographic history owing to the ongoing enlargement of the number of prints published between late 1720 and the ensuing years coupled with the issuance of the plates as separate unbound sheets as well as later editions with yet more plates which maintained the title page dated 1720.

[LAW/FERARA/PIGNA, GB ed] G B
Statuta Urbis Ferrariae nuper Reformata
<p>Folio 30.5 x 19.5 cm 10 ff. 307 i.e. 308 13 ff. including woodcut title showing Ferrara and Este arms and full-page woodcut portrait of the printer Rossi on EEEviii v. Bound in 18th-century stiff vellum title stenciled on spine. Some minor staining in scattered leaves and some trivial worming in margin but generally a broad-margined and fresh copy excellent. Rare and most likely the earliest acquirable edition of the municipals laws of Ferrara one of the richest and most cultivated of Northern Italian courts published shortly after the concluding session of the Council of Trent 1563. The work contains one of the earliest portrait of a printer in a book he himself produced see below. The work significantly revises the previous publication of local statutory law and is signed by a committee of local jurists 3v-4r. The statutes govern all aspects of civil and criminal law from the buying and selling of goods and property marriage testaments to criminal procedure. The work is of interest for containing a portrait of the printer. Note: Rossi had no editorial or authorial part in the work; he is expressly designated "Typographus" printer in the identifying legend. This is of interest to historians of the book for it showing the developing confidence and prestige enjoyed by 16th-century printers and is analogous though considerably more assertive to putting an element of the printer's process or trade in a publisher's device. "Rossi was near the end of a career as a printer at Ferrara that covered more than 50 years and certainly justified the use of his portrait in this volume" Mortimer I.261. Although it should be regarded as a form of self-indulgence and did not catch on-as say the author portraits on which it is based obviously did-it nonetheless remains an interesting bit of evidence for the elevated status of Italian printers. There is no repertory of examples and we know of no study of the subject but in querying colleagues we have located only two earlier analogous portraits: Rossi pictured himself in smaller format in the colophon to another book he published: Giovanni Maria Verrato's 1561 response to critics of the Council of Trent: Contra responsiones et protestationes. And Francesco Priscianese pictured himself in a Latin grammar published in 1540. Also Prof. Anthony Grafton draws our attention to the portraits of the illustrators in the Historia Stirpium of Leonhart Fuchs 1542. Further searching would doubtless turn up a few other examples but it is clearly an isolated phenomenon The statutes received an incunable edition in 1476 published by Severino da Ferrara BMC VI.609 the only copy we have been able to locate: this edition is not in Goff and we locate no American copy. The next edition was published by Rossi in 1534 with a less elaborate version of the title cut and without the portrait. The present edition is next making it third. According to Mortimer the hypothetical issue points raised by F. Berlan in his Bibliografia degli statuti municipali ed inediti di Ferrara Rome 1878 pp. 21-7 are in need of substantial copy-checking. There are no copies of the editio princeps or the 1534 edition in America; for the present edition OCLC lists Kansas Minnesota and the Waseda Library to which should be added the Harvard copy described by Mortimer. Mortimer Italian 182; Adams F266; Fumagalli Lexicon p. 128 fig 45 portrait; L.

EX JURE CIVILI.
<p>8vo containing 52 theses of between 8 and 15 pages each divided into three sections; each thesis with an elaborate engraved headpiece and either a tailpiece or a full-page engraving many signed 'Constantinus' see below; manuscript list of contents at end; some foxing and browning in places; ownership signature of Constantin on first page and on front free endpaper; a few contemporary annotations to one thesis; in contemporary sheep spine gilt in compartments raised bands skiver lettering-pieces one with 'Tom I'; boards and extremities somewhat worn. An interesting collection of dissertations on civil law presented by students at the law faculty of the University of Turin. The volume contains three dissertationes each of which is divided up into theses all of which are separately paginated and which discuss the nature and division of law the role of statue the ways of interpreting laws and the responsibilities and position of the judiciary. A full listing of the theses all of which are either very rare or unrecorded is available on request. What makes the present volume especially interesting is its condition: the title-pages of each of the theses has been removed so each begins with the text under an engraved headpiece signed 'Constantinus' sometimes with scul added sometimes fec and sometimes the date 1771. The ownership signature of Constantin on the front free endpaper and the first page of the volume suggest that this copy was bound specially for the engraver who appears also to have been a bookseller and print dealer and who also is credited with the engravings in Alberti di Villanova's Nouveau dictionnaire françois-italien of 1788; it might seem that the title-pages of the individual theses were considered superfluous if what Constantin needed was a collection of his own work. Although a lettering-piece on the spine states that this is volume one it is unknown if any further such volumes were made. No contents seemingly recorded by OCLC.</p> Ignazio Soffietti

[LAW] [LABOR HISTORY] [ILWU]
Collection of 32 ILWU Press Releases Relating to the Federal Prosecution of Harry Bridges 1949-50
San Francisco: International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union 1949-50. Collection of 32 twice-daily - later weekly - press releases on letterhead of the International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union. Each 1-6pp; multi-page documents corner-stapled; most 11" x 8-1/2" a few on legal-sized sheets 14" x 8-1/2. Occasional mild soil or creasing but overall Very Good comprising a complete or nearly so transcript of the proceedings from Dec. 19 1949 to April 4 1950 date of conviction then resuming for the bail trial August 3-5 1950. Together with an undated cover letter transmitting one of the releases signed by William E. Dodd Editorial Assistant of The Dispatcher the official ILWU newspaper.<br /> <br /> Bridges 1901-1990 was an Australian-born longshoreman who arrived in the U.S. in 1920 soon joining the I.W.W. and eventually founding in 1937 the ILWU a radical offshoot of the International Longshoremen's Association. He had by that time established his reputation as a fiery labor leader with strong Marxist leanings particularly in his role as leader of the bloody West Coast Waterfront Strike of 1934 - a role which earned him the enmity of both of more conservative labor figures and of the U.S. government which made numerous attempts to deport Bridges beginning in 1939. All these attempts were unsuccessful and Bridges finally gained full U.S. citizenship in 1945. His 1949 trial - the government's final attempt to have Bridges removed from the country - hinged on the assertion that Bridges had perjured himself in his application for citizenship having claimed falsely according to the indictment to have never been a member of the Communist Party. The jury returned a guilty verdict but the conviction was later overturned by the Supreme Court in 1953 finally marking the end of Bridges' 15-year fight to remain in his adopted country. <br /> <br /> The current run of press releases issued by the ILWU Legal department appeared as often as twice-daily during the early portion of the trial. They provide a continuous daily transcript of testimony and events through mid-January 1950 after which the format changes to a "Weekly Roundup of Events." Bridges' and his co-conspirators' convictions are announced in a full two-page press release on April 4th 1950 with a lengthy statement by the officers of the Union after which there is a gap of several months until bail proceedings begin in August 1950. <br /> <br /> Together these documents offer a very useful primary source for study of Government suppression of left-wing labor unions during the Cold War era and a granular view of the legal proceedings in a significant U.S. labor trial. Apparently scarce with only a single U.S. institution Stanford holding even a single separately-catalogued example. International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union unknown
