First edition of the earliest English treatise devoted exclusively to the law of husband and wife and one of the principal early attempts to systematize the common-law doctrine of coverture in a single practical work. Issued in expanded editions 1719 1738 it remained a point of reference for eighteenth-century practitioners and compilers. The treatise organizes the law of marriage as a coherent doctrinal field proceeding from formation solemnization and validity through the incidents of coverture to dissolution and separation. Its treatment of the feme covert is comprehensive addressing personal status contractual incapacity property rights and procedural position. In contrast to earlier more diffuse authorities it offers a structured exposition designed for professional use with attention to pleading evidentiary questions and precedent. Of particular legal interest is its detailed account of the interaction between strict coverture doctrine and the equitable and customary devices that qualified it. The discussion of marriage settlements trusts and separate maintenance agreements documents the means by which property could be secured to or for the use of married women notwithstanding their forma. unknown

A fascinating and remarkably modern critique of the social and legal barriers to marriage in late 18th-century England. The anonymous author identifies four primary "evils" calling for Parliamentary intervention: parental tyranny over-education male vice and economic luxury a general culture of expensive tastes that makes marriage financially daunting. The author moves beyond mere complaint to offer specific legal remedies including the abolition of the celibacy requirement for fellows at Oxford and Cambridge and a lowering of the age of consent. The work argues for a return to "the simplicity of nature" by allowing young people to follow their affections before they are corrupted by the "pride of life."

J. Marriage described a case in which an attempt had been made to divide the eighth nerve within the skull for the relief of tinnitus. The patient a girl aged 23 contracted left otitis media in 1898. Several operations followed and four years afterwards she began to suffer from tinnitus and vertigo which symptoms increased in intensity to such a degree that life was rendered well-nigh intolerable. It was therefore decided to attempt to divide the eighth nerve as in the operation for the exploration of the posterior surface of the petrous bone. The procedure was very difficult on account of the constant discharge of cerebro-spinal fluid and haemorrhage but the auditory nerve was exposed and finally divided with a blunt hook. Noises were present on the following day. There was no facial paralysis. The wound never showed reaction and continued to discharge. The patient gradually sank and died on the twenty-first day. At the necropsy it was found that a fine strand of the auditory nerve had escaped division. There was no meningitis and the internal ear presented a normal appearance. Dr. Farquhar Buzzard said that his examination of the nerve showed that the vestibular and two-thirds of the coeliac nerves were degenerated as a result of the resection of the nerve. Very little was known as to the morbid anatomy of tinnitus which was a rare symptom in gross lesions of the brain except where the nerve roots at the base were affected. There was little or no evidence in favour of its central origin." Frederick Taylor and F. J. Smith: Reports of Societies. Clinical Society Oof London.

Best.-Nr. M88Folio ca. 32x195 cm or 12 ¾ x 7 ¾ in. 2 pp. Brown ink on blueish laid paper. Fold marks paper slightly age-toned but overall a very good letter written in a legible hand. Interesting original manuscript letter providing an insight into an early legal dispute over the confirmation of what looks like a common law marriage in the Oregon Territory. Written by a resident of Oregon City who concealed his identity under the letters “R.J.G.” the letter is addressed to “Mr. Harding” – most likely Benjamin Franklin Harding 1823-1899 a notable Oregonian attorney and politician. In 1852 Harding established the “Harding and Grover” law firm in Salem; in 1855-59 served as the Secretary of the Oregon Territory. During the American Civil War Harding took the office of the US Senator from Oregon 1862-65. In the letter the author refuses the claim of an unnamed woman to be his alleged wife apparently common-law and declares that he can prove that she is in fact the wife of another man and that he is going “to defend myself which I shall do regardless of consequences.” In the beginning of the letter the author notes that the “claimant” lived “at Judge Olney’s” who was Cyrus Olney 1815-1870 then the 6th Associate Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court 1853-58. Later Olney served as a delegate to the Oregon Constitutional Convention 1857 and served in the Oregon House of Representatives. Overall an interesting early original letter regarding legal disputes over the confirmation of common-law marriages in the Oregon Territory. The text of the letter: “Mr. Harding Sir On account of your protestations of friendship I think it strange that you did not apprise me of your agency in depositing in … Office that petition. I have said that I was willing the complainant should marry that I never would distrust her that I would not lay a straw in her way. I am informed that she was so informed while living at Judge Olney’s. She has been influenced to make application for a Bill probably on account of such intelligence. Now it is a well founded belief that she would have been married last fall had I not come back when I did and that too without a Bill. She has taken the wrong step to succeed. No lawful marriage exists between us and hence she cannot obtain a Bill from me. I am certainly correct in this view. I consulted the law and lawmakers last fall in reference to this matter as I was determined to take lawful steps and found that I was free from her in every sense of the word. She wishes to marry again I am willing that she should impose upon some other man if she feels safe in so doing and can find one as foolish as I have been. The complainant is not my wife but the wife of one Mr. Walker as I shall prove to the court. Can you not see that she endangers herself you know the penalty I presume. I don’t wish her to suffer this penalty I wish her no harm whatsoever but if this affair goes to court its result may prove fatal to her happiness to her parents and to yours and family. It has proven an unfortunate affair to us all and I presume that neither party wishes any more than a quiet future and freedom from each other. She is not bound to me nor I to her. It would be for her welfare and happiness to immediately withdraw as she has the power of doing her complaint and then here or elsewhere apply for a Bill from Mr. Walker or if she prefers marry without such application. In either event I shall not disturb her. If she obtains a Bill from Walker she will be safe as there is no public record of our marriage nor were witnesses present at the solemnization. If she does not withdraw her Bill she forces me to defend myself which I shall do regardless of consequences. If I did not know that we are free from each other by virtue of the law then I should have long since applied. Take my word for it she cannot obtain a Bill from me by virtue of her relation to Mr. Walker. But if she blindly persists in her present application then I must meet her and answer for my horrid abuse! I have suggested this by advice of one of my legal friends and by virtue of my own feelings toward her. If you have any doubt of the propriety of this course call and see me and others. If the matter stops here you must act promptly for additional costs are making. Respectfully R.J.G.” unknown

A Summary of the Chief Arguments For and Against Marriage With A Deceased Wife's Sister. London: Marriage Law Reform Association 1883. 15 1 pp. Octavo 8-1/4" x 5-1/2". Stab-stitched pamphlet in self wrappers. Light toning negligible edgewear light foxing in a few places. $350. Third and final edition. A scarce reformist tract representing one of the most protracted legal and social battles of the Victorian era. The Marriage Law Reform Association was established in 1851 to overturn Lord Lyndhurst's Marriage Act of 1835 which codified the prohibition of marriage between a widower and his sister-in-law. This restriction was rooted in the theological "one flesh" doctrine of affinity which legally equated a wife's sister with a blood sister. The controversy often dubbed the "annual blister" due to its near-yearly debate in Parliament highlighted a sharp class divide; while the wealthy could travel abroad to marry the working classes-who relied on sisters-in-law for domestic stability-were forced into "legalized concubinage." The debate permeated Victorian culture appearing in works ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe to the novels of Dinah Craik. This edition captures the height of the Association's campaign which eventually succeeded with the passage of the Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act in 1907.

"Actions for what was formerly known.as criminal conversation were nominally abolished thirty years ago: that they were not actually got rid of as will presently be shewn is evident from the wording of the Divorce Act. It is a remarkable fact however that in spite of the loose wording of the Act such actions have become of such a rare occurrence as to be virtually at an end and what the Act was intended to bring about while failing to do it technically has yet to come to pass. The object of the following pages is to show the nature of the legal proceedings formerly in vogue as necessary before an injured husband could clear himself of an adulterous wife and marry again and a number of interesting cases which attracted a deal of public attention in their day are given from which it may be readily perceived with what facility conspiracy and fraud could be perpetuated.": Preface iii.
