    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding, Very Scarce

    A very scarce first edition.

    This legal treatise sets out the authority, structure, and procedures of the Court of Great Sessions as applied to the Welsh counties on the Chester Circuit.

    Charles Abbot, the author of this work and later 1st Baron Colchester and Speaker of the House of Commons, was noted for his rational reforms and systematic study of parliamentary procedure, and this early work reflects his analytical approach to institutional practice.
