About This Item
London: [vol. I:] In the Savoy: printed for Tho. Woodward, at the Half-Moon between the Temple-Gates, J. Shuckburgh, at the Sun, near the Inner Temple-Gates, both in Fleet-street; and J. Stagg, in Westminster-Hall, 1741. [vol. II:] In the Savoy: printed by E. and R. Nutt, and R. Gosling, (assigns of Edw. Sayer, Esq;) for R. Gosling, at the Crown and Mitre, over-against Fetter lane in Fleet street. M DCC XXXV. [1735], 1735. Leather. Fair. Description: Two volumes, folio (12¾ × 8½ in): [36], 508, [24] p. (page numbers 493-508 in brackets); [4], 316, p. 317-330 f., 331-338 p., 339-428 f., 353-503, [40], [37] p. (folio numbers 353-428 in brackets). Early calf. · Register: 2º: [A]² a² [a]-[b]² ²a² b-e² B-6I² *6K-N² ²5K-L² 6M-P²; [A]² B² ²B² C-6T² ²4X-5E² ²5F1 ²5G-M² ²6N1 ²6O-T² 6U-Z² a-f² [a]-[c]² [d]1. · Condition: Volume I: joints cracked, corners worn, some scuffs and stains. Volume II: top board detached, back and bottom board scorched, leather defective, leaves of second half of book water stained, sm. hole in 4U2, affecting a few letters; still useable. · Comments: Married set, first volume from second issue, second volume from first issue. The first volume was first published in 1734 and the second in 1735; both were reissued with a new title-page in 1741. ESTC locates only two copies with the 1741 title-page, which changed the name of the publisher from Gosling (who died January 4, 1741) to Woodward, Shuckburgh, and Stagg. The volumes offered here each contain a different four-page list of subscribers. In the second volume, the tables are bound at the rear. The first volume covers "Abatement," "Account," "Audita Querela," and "Action on the Case"; the second volume covers "Covenant," "Debt," "Detinue," and "Prohibition." A third volume on "Quare Impedit" and the rights of patrons was issued in 1737; according to Worrall, it was also sold separately. From the prefaces to the first and second volumes, it seems that publishers had intended that quare impedit would be included, but the length of the title and related matters precluded that. The third volume originally intended to cover replevin, trespass, and waste and general entries, but no such volume was ever published. It is not merely a book of forms, but also a legal abridgment bringing Rolle up to date to the extent not covered by D'Anvers, as well as containing an index to the other books of entries. · Title continued: First volume: "... &c. demurrers, issues, verdicts, judgments, forms of continuances, discontinuances, and other entries, and of entering judgments, &c. in all personal actions: and also all kinds of writs original and judicial." ... "on the several cases in the reports, as well relating to the precedents herein, as to all other cases incident to each particular title; and the same abridg'd and disposed in a methodical order. To which are added references to all the other entries in the books. With three distinct tables, one of the precedents, the second of the cases abridg'd, and the third of the names of the cases. By a gentleman of the Inner Temple." Second volume: "... of pleadings in the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer, in the several actions of covenant, debt, detinue, and prohibition. From the most authentick books, but chiefly from Lutwich's, Saunders's, Ventris's, Salkeld's, and the Modern Reports; and from other cases lately tried and adjudged, and wherein writs of error have been brought, and judgments affirmed: together with readings and observations on the several cases in the reports, as well relating to the precedents herein, as to all other cases incident to each particular title; and the same abridg'd and disposed in a methodical order. And under the head of judgments in debt is set forth the practice in proceedings on writs of error. To which are added references to all the other entries in the books. With three distinct tables, one of the precedents, the second of the cases abridg'd, and the third of the names of the cases. Vol. II. By a barrister of the Inner Temple." · References: Johnson 140 (3 copies); Worrall 191; S&M 1:273 (100); Holdsworth, HEL 12:355, 358; ESTC T221302 (1741 title-page), T97048 (1734[-1735] title-page).
