A propos de cet article

Robertson was a Kentucky jurist and legislator who was born near Harrodsburg, KY in 1790 and whose life and activities were devoted to his home state. Printed in double columns, this book contains his thoughts on Kentucky history and law. Includes an interesting account of a man who bequeathed $10,000 to insure that his killer would be convicted and executed as well as well as one of a person who provided freedom to a slave who would slay his murderer. This Kentucky item is not frequently encountered. Bottom front corner nibbled which extends to a tiny portion of the corner of a few pages, as well (not affecting any text, and barely noticeable). Some extremity wear, foxing, especially to end papers, old owner name dated 1884 and small book plate on end paper, as well as an old owner name in pencil on top of title page. Original brown blindstamped cloth covers. Ref: Howes R352, Sabin 71951; 8vo, 8" - 9" tall; 402 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 7761
