1788 The Common Law of Kent: Or, the Customs of Gavelkind
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Leather Binding
The second edition of this work, which was first published in 1741.
Robinson emphasises the importance of local customs in shaping the laws of the county of Kent, and covers a wide range of topics, including property law and contracts.
The 'Customs of Gravelking' referred to in the title was a form of inheritance common in the Saxon era, but was gradually supplanted by primogeniture after 1066.
ESTC Citation No. T100119
