Title: A Treatise of the Nobilitie of the Realme. Collected Out of the Body
Author: Bird, William
Seller: The Lawbook Exchange Ltd (United States)
Description: 1642. of the Common Law, With Mention of Such Statutes. of the Common Law, With Mention of Such Statutes. "Nobilitie of the Realme" [Bird, William]. A Treatise of the Nobilitie of the Realme. Collected Out of the Body of the Common Law, With Mention of Such Statutes as are Incident Hereunto, Upon a Debate of the Barony of Aburgavenny. With a Table of the Heads Contained in this Treatise. London: Printed by A.N. for Mathew Walbanke and Richard Best, 1642. [iv], 157, [1] pp. Woodcut text illustrations of genealogical relationships. Octavo (5-3/4" x 3-1/2"). Contemporary sheep, blind rules to boards, blind fillets to spine. Light rubbing to extremities, tiny chip to head of spine, corners bumped. Title page and text printed within ruled borders. Light toning to text, somewhat heavier in places. A very appealing, well-preserved, fine copy. $450. * First edition, one of two issues. An important mid-seventeenth-century legal and constitutional treatise examining the nature, rights, and descent of English nobility as understood through the Common Law. Compiled in the context of the celebrated Barony of Abergavenny debate, this work draws extensively from judicial authorities and statutory law, offering a rigorous analysis of peerage, dignity, and inheritance at a moment of intense legal and political scrutiny on the eve of the English Civil War. The author systematically assembles principles "out of the body of the Common Law," with explicit reference to relevant statutes, making the treatise both a practical legal resource and a work of broader historical significance. Particularly noteworthy are the woodcut genealogical diagrams, which visually trace lines of descent and illuminate complex hereditary claims-an appealing feature in legal books of the period. The volume concludes with a detailed table of contents, facilitating consultation and reinforcing its utility for lawyers, antiquarians, and historians alike. Another edition, with additions by Sir John Doddridge, was published later in 1642 as The Magazine of Honour; Or, A Treatise of the Severall Degrees of the Nobility of this Kingdome. A scarce and desirable example of early English legal literature, of special interest to collectors of Common Law, peerage history, genealogy, and seventeenth-century English printing.

Condition: Very Good in Good dj
Description: New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [good sound copy, modest wear to extremities; the jacket is edgeworn, with some chipping to and surrounding the top of the spine, tiny tears and minor paper loss at several corners, and some nasty red staining to the lower section of the rear panel]. A sprawling romantic tale backgrounded against the Irish Civil War, narrated by its protagonist, one Dennis Fitzhugh O'Shea -- aka Baron Dunfogar, a member of "the somewhat emasculated peerage of Ireland" -- who returns home after serving in the British Army during the Great War to find that his ancestral home has become a base of operations for the Sinn Fein. Before long (being a good-hearted chap with a sense of basic fairness), he is won over to the side of the rebels, his conversation conveniently helped along by his attraction to a proud and beautiful young lass (who also happens to be a gun-runner for the rebels). The book is steeped in the country's tradition and lore -- each chapter is prefaced by a bit of Irish verse or lyric -- and is partisan all the way; as one contemporary review noted, it's "as pro-Eire as an IRA bombing, as anti-British as a Hitler speech" -- which may not have gone down well in all quarters at the time, given that pro-British sentiment was on the upswing in the period immediately prior to America's entry into World War II. The author (1900-1973) was a first-generation Irish-American, his father having emigrated from County Cork; he was educated at Harvard, then spent some time as an investment banker before turning to writing. He apparently never wrote another novel, although it was reported in 1941 that he had written a play, "The Undersea Visitor," about a German submarine surfacing off the coast of Ireland; Guthrie McClintic was supposedly interested in producing it, but it seems to have never made it to the boards. In the early years of the war, Welch was also involved with the Federal Union movement; as its acting director, he pushed a kind of proto-United Nations idea of the world's democracies forming a world organization for the dual purpose of winning the war and building the ensuing peace. (He is not, by the way, to be confused with the contemporary fantasy/adventure novelist of the same name.) A somewhat uncommon book, it seems. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
