CAY ( John )
An abridgment of the public statutes in force and use from Magna Carta … to the eleventh year of … King George II. inclusive.
FIRST EDITION, (1464)-pages, complete with the errata leaf, 2 vols, folio, contemporary calf : the headbands worn and the bindings a little scratched and worn at the corners but sound and strong and otherwise a very good copy with the Tervoe bookplate. The first uniform abridgment since Pulton. It includes at length the two books of custom rates (those of Grimston and of Compton), and a table of sheriff's fees.
