A propos de cet article

596 p.; 23.5 cm. [title continues] vs. Ashbel Green and others. --`We propose to give as a preliminary to our report, a short account of the peculiar kind of action instituted by the plaintiffs in this case.

(p. 589) Worn ex-lib. sheep, front cover detached. Outer pages foxed.…
