A propos de cet article

Of legal Fictions, Quirks, and Glosses, Attorney's gains, and Client's losses, Of Suits created, lost, and won, How to undo, and be undone, Whether by Common Law, or Civil, A man goes sooner to the Devil. Things which few mortals can disclose in Verse, or comprehend in Prose, I sing -- do thou, bright Phoebus, deign to shine for once in Chanc'ry-lane; And, Clio, if your pipe you'll lend to Mercury, the Lawyer's friend, That Usher of the golden Rod, of Gain and Eloquence the god, Shall lead my steps with guidance sure, Safe through the palpable obscure, And take my Parchments for his labour To cover your harmonious Tabour. A little wear at top of spine and a little rubbing at bottom of spine. Otherwise a tight, clean, very good to fine book. 16mo. 6-5/16" x 4-1/16". Marbled paper covered boards. Leather spine with raised bands and decorated panels tooled on gold. Marbled paper endpapers. 612 pp.
