About This Item
London: printed by A. Strahan and W. Woodfall, Law Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majesty; for E. and R. Brooke..., 1794. 8vo, 209 x 13o mms., pp. [v], vi - xii, 339 [340 blank], [56 - index], recently rebound in quarter calf, marbled boards, morocco labels; title-page slightly detached at inner margin, but a sound copy. Sir Jeffray Gilbert (16741726) was a distinguished judge and legal writer; he left a number of manuscripts, and this work was first published posthumously in 1755. It derived from a very lengthy manuscript on English law, which he left unpublished and incomplete. The only work that Gilbert published, and that anonymously, in his lifetime was an Abstract of Locke's 'Essay Concerning Human Understanding' (1709). Gilbert's description of replevin (in English law, a legal remedy for a person to recover goods unlawfully withheld from his or her possession) was one of the first works to treat the concept so thoroughly.
