    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    A very scarce first edition.

    Barrister Francis Whitmarsh offers a survey of early 19th century bankruptcy law in England, featuring discussion of creditor's debt, imprisonment, proof of debts, the act of bankruptcy, and of the petitioning of debt.

    Whitmarsh's intended audience in this work is members of the legal profession, published in response to 'material alterations that have been lately made in the Bankrupt Laws'.

    Rebacked, retaining the original endpapers.

    This very scarce work offers a fascinating insight into bankruptcy in the 19th century.

    Condition

    Rebacked in paper, in the publisher's original paper covered boards. Original spine label laid down. Light handling marks to boards. Retaining original endpapers. Internally, firmly bound. Significant spotting to first and last few leaves, with the odd further spot throughout. Pages bright.

    Very Good
