CURIOUS CASES A Collection of American and English Decisions

Hardback. A compilation of cases selected from American and English reports. The cases are as readable as short stories. They are curious either because of the unusual and remarkable facts involved or because of the humorous style of the judges. The book is a storehouse of the wit, wisdom, and drollery of such judges as Lumpkin and Bleckley of Georgia; Dent of West Virginia; Wilkes of Tennessee; Taft of Vermont; Clark of North Carolina; and Russell and Walworth of New York. With Index. 441pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With several newspaper and other cuttings tipped-in and name insc. by previous owner + his 'name label' which has been stuck to the head of the sp. Tan leather covers, corded sp. with red leather/gilt title label. Browned edges, and general shelfwear but still a nr. Vg. copy of a scarce title. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage.
