Description: Williams, John Griffith. Cases in Equity During the Time of the Late Lord Chancellor Talbot.... London: A. Strahan and W. Woodfall, 1793. 313 pp. Leather binding worn and cracked, front cover detached but interior is good and clean with some foxing throughout but easy to read. A neat early law book. Alexander Forrester, "an equity barrister of some eminence,"compiled notes on the cases of Lord Chancellor Talbot. The first edition of these reports were published without Forrester's consent and may not have been intended for publication without further editing. Nevertheless, while commentators may have lamented the quality of the reports,Talbot's decisions rise above this mediocrity: Lord Talbot's decisions exhibit, indeed, in the form in which we have them, little of the eloquence so highly rated by his contemporaries, and which the reporters of that day, devoted entirely to the illustration of the legal doctrines of the cases, would perhaps have deemed an incongruous and impertinent superfluity; but they display a strong and ready grasp of facts, a thorough intimacy with legal principles and authorities, and an eminently clear and logical exposition of them,–his judgments being invariably accompanied by a statement, more or less in detail, of the reasons upon which they were grounded. They retain an authority almost untouched by the dissent of later Judges. ***Tracking and insurance includedCHECK PHOTOS/SCANS FOR CONDITIONWe accept various payment methodsAny questions please do not hesitate to askTHANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS!!The last photo is my Social Media Group (FB) "Elite Team Auctions" If you would like to join for some great deals and new inventory Inventory: BOOK BIN ***
