Pollock, Frederick Essays in Jurisprudence and Ethics
London Macmillan and Co. 1882 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good- 8vo
x, [1], 383 pp [4 pp ads] pages; Publisher's terra-cotta cloth, ruled in black and spine lettered in gilt. Black endpapapers. Cloth is worn at the spine ends, particularly at the top, with a 3/4" closed tear from the top edge, some rubbing and wear along the rear hinge, minor bumping to the corners. Faint rectangular mark to upper cover (left by the removal of a private label?) Endpapers starting along inner hinges, but tight in the binding. The black endpapers are clean and undamaged. With half-title and 4 pages of publisher's ads at the end. A decent copy of the first edition, with the original binding showing wear but not abuse. With no marks of provenance or previous ownership. To call this book a classic of law and jurisprudence is to engage in understatement. ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.
