Extremities lightly scuffed, some edgewear; binding remains strong, and sound. Internally, there is small knick resulting in a very minor loss to the title page. With the exception of a neat name written in period ink to the title page the contents remain remakably bright, clean, and unmarked. The leather binding has recently been professionally replenished, and treated with a natural leather preserver. A handsome presentation of a scarce title; very good. A lovely copy of an interesting, and unusually informal legal treatise written in a vernacular fashion for the benefit of judges, advocates, attorneys, clerks, agents, solicitors, monarchy, ministers of state, country nobleman, the poor and indignant, gospel minister and preacher of God's word, the merchant, the tradesman and mechanic, military (both officers, and soldiers), husband and wife, and many more. Indeed, in the preface Dun writes, "My intention at first went no further, than to offer my humble Advice to the persons concerned in the administration of justice, and managing of law-fruits; for, my long experience in that kind of business, discovered to me many defects and abuses therein; which moved in me a desire of attempting, according to my weak power, to rectify, in some measure, what I observed to be amiss, in our judicial proceedings. But, after finishing the few Advices to the practices at the law, I thought that I could not employ my vacant time, than to proceed with my Advice to others of different ranks, stations, and conditions; in hopes that, amongst the severals I have presumed to address myself to, some may be profited from what I have suggested.and as to the style of language, tho' I was Master of it, as I am not; yet, many of the persons for whom my Advice is intended being of the low and inferior rank, a plain and easy style is to them left best suited and most proper.".

The first part of the work contains specific legal advice to different ranks of lawyers and parties engaged in law suits. After this is a section on ?Advice to the Monarch? which is followed by ?Advice to the Subject? Further sections are addressed to ministers of state, the landed gentry, the man of wealth, the poor and indigent, the merchant, tradesman, farmer and more general advice to husbands and wives, parents and children, old and young, masters and servants, rich and poor. This is the only known publication by the Jacobite judge David Erskine, generally known under his judicial designation, Lord Dun. An eminent member of the Scottish bar, he was also a jealous Jacobite and friend to the non-jurant episcopal clergy. As a member of the last Scottish parliament, he was ardently opposed to the union. ESTC notes another issue (t193481), with p. viii correctly numbered and with the amended imprint ?for G. Hamilton and J. Balfour? Scarcer than the present issue, it is listed at Aberdeen, Cambridge, NLS and DLC only. Curiously, this copy has a stub before the title page, suggesting a cancel, but given that it has the earlier states of the two pages, it may be more likely that an initial blank has been cut away. Provenance: Sir John Inglis of Cramond, 2nd Baronet (1683-1771), Postmaster General for Scotland. ESTC t114020.
