1791réf. 739341791. Scottish Law After Union: Court of Session Decisions 1735-1744 Scotland. Court of Session. Decisions of the Court of Session From the Month of November MDCCXXXV To The Month of July MDCCXLIV. Edinburgh: Printed for Bell and Bradfute James Simpson et al. 1791. 464 pp. Folio 12" x 7-1/2". Modern library buckram gilt institution name to boards red and black lettering pieces and gilt institution name to spine endpapers renewed. Light rubbing to extremities. Library stamps to edges preliminaries and rear endleaves. Light toning to interior "R399" in an early hand and early owner signature John Pollok to title page. $150. First and only edition. This substantial folio preserves a sequence of decisions of Scotland's supreme civil court during the mature decades following the Acts of Union 1707 a formative period in which Scots law though operating within a unified British state maintained its distinctive doctrinal identity. The Court of Session-established in the sixteenth century and central to the development of national jurisprudence-continued in these years to articulate a mixed legal tradition drawing upon Roman civil law authority alongside indigenous customary and feudal principles. Collections of "Decisions" such as the present volume belong to the early and only partially systematized tradition of Scottish law reporting often compiled for the use of advocates and practitioners rather than issued under formal judicial auspices. They constitute an important record of precedent before the standardization of reporting in the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The cases recorded here reflect the core business of the court in this period including disputes concerning heritable property succession entail and the expanding sphere of commercial relations in an Atlantic economy. The imprint of Bell & Bradfute among the principal Edinburgh legal publishers of the later eighteenth century situates the volume within the professional print culture that sustained the Scottish bar. The early ownership signature to the title page may be that of John Pollok 1858-1938 Procurator Fiscal for Selkirkshire suggesting later use within the Borders legal community.

1898Twenty leaves on heavy stiff paper stock. With 18 illustrations by Wycliffe Taylor printed in sepia, accompanying an appropriate verse. Oblong folio. 370 x 280 mm. Original pictorial paper covered boards binding, lettered and decorated in red. Binding worn at the edges, but overall very good. Harry Cumberland Bentley (1861-1913) was an English sporting author and poet. He was famed as the 'Bard of the Pytchley Hunt.' In this book there is a 1930 manuscript presentation from 'Mouse Bentley'. This is probably the author's daughter - Violet Esmé Hawkesworth (Field) (Hassall) (Bury) (Bentley) [1898-1986]. Fanciful imagination has pictured a trout swimming up the River Ayr, passing into the Lugar Water at Barskimming, entering the Black Loch via the Glaisnock Water and thence into the Black Loch. The second outflow from the loch would carry the trout into Creoch Loch, then into the Loch o' th' Lowes, the River Nith and finally into the Solway Firth after a journey of around seventy miles. A very scarce and attractive angling title. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! OVERSIZE 1 / DC1
1821Three volumes. 8vo. Uncut. Foxed. Bound in the original boards, which have become quite worn and broken. This true First Edition would make a good candidate for classy rebinding. "Kenilworth was born out of Constable's suggestion to write a novel set during the time of Queen Elizabeth; however, Scott rejected the suggestion that it be entitled "The Armada" because he had other ideas than centring the novel on the epic events of the invasion. He based the novel around the legend of the murder of Amy Robsart, a story told in Meikle's old ballad, which had been one of Scott's favourite poems. However, Scott did accept Constable's suggestion of naming the novel Kenilworth instead of "Cumnor Hall". The publisher applauded this decision with the exclamation: "By God, I am all but the author of the Waverley Novels!" When Kenilworth appeared in 1821 it was an immediate success with both readers and critics. The Edinburgh Review praised Scott for bringing to life the character of Queen Elizabeth, and for the way in which he contrasted the evil plotting of Varney against the grandeur of Kenilworth Castle." It was a grand best-seller on both sides of the Atlantic. FIRST EDITION / FIRST ISSUE. W151.
