A very good copy. $950. First edition. Main text in French. Text of the decree enacting the code in English. Located between the northern coast of France and the southern coast of England Jersey was originally part of Brittany. The island was eventually annexed to the Duchy of Normandy. When William the Conqueror conquered England in 1066 the duchy became part of his new kingdom. Jersey continued to be governed by a system derived from Norman customary law which was recorded in manuscript compilations. Over time this body of law became unwieldy and ineffective. Political events especially a protest in 1769 over the cost of wheat induced the Crown to reform Jersey's law and government. One of these reforms was the 1771 Code. The first printed collection of Jersey's laws it restated the island's law and legal procedures defined its legal and constitutional authority and clarified its relationship with the Crown. A second edition was published in 1860. As Jersey law firm Bedell Cristin notes in its history of the island's law "The legislative precedent set by the Code remains pertinent to this day."

2026rif. 240677Londra: Mack 2026. Brossura wrappers. Perfetto Mint. Pubblicato in collaborazione con la Morgan Library & Museum di New York in occasione della mostra “Hujar:Contact” in programma dal 22 maggio al 25 ottobre 2026. A cura di Joel Smith. Notebooks di Peter Hujar annotati da Olivia McCall. Cm 29x22. pp. 364. Perfetto Mint. Prima edizione First Edition. “Hujar: Contact” esplora il vasto archivio della Morgan Library & Museum composto da provini a contatto originali e quaderni di lavoro realizzati da Peter Hujar tra il 1954 e il 1986 che insieme costituiscono un affascinante documento visivo del processo creativo dell'artista. Lo sguardo empatico di Hujar si concentrava su soggetti diversi – folle in protesta reliquie danneggiate animali da fattoria – ma soprattutto sui ritratti della cerchia di artisti scrittori e personalità dell'underground newyorkese di cui lui stesso faceva parte. I testi critici di accompagnamento di Joel Smith tracciano una cronologia dei provini a contatto di Hujar presentando un artista che sviluppa sperimenta e affina la propria pratica artistica sullo sfondo delle tumultuose dinamiche politico-culturali e dei profondi cambiamenti nella vita gay all'alba della diffusione dell'AIDS.

1935rif. 101282New Jersey between 1935 and 1938. 1935 and 1938. Fine. - New Jersey Governor Harold G. Hoffman's autograph signed on his 2-7/8 inch high by 4-1/4 inch wide "State of New Jersey / Executive Department" calling card with the state crest embossed in gilt at top left. The edges are very slightly soiled and there are faint glue stains to the corners of the verso. Near fine. The American businessman and Republican politician Harold G. Hoffman 1896-1954 served as the 41st Governor of New Jersey from 1935 to 1938. His term was controversial due to his support of a sales tax and his interference in the Lindbergh kidnapping case by visiting Hauptmann's cell and believing he did not act alone granting an initial 30 day reprieve. He was later investigated for embezzlement. New Jersey, between 1935 and 1938.
