[GILBERT (Sir Geoffrey)].
A treatise of tenures.
Containing the original, nature, use and effect of feudal or
common-law tenures. With a complete table to the whole. By a
late learned judge.
Dublin: Printed by Alex. M’Culloh, for Sarah
Cotter, under Dick’s Coffee-House, in Skinner-Row,
1754
FIRST IRISH EDITION, pages vii, (1, blank), 144, (36), with
leaf E1 duplicated without corresponding loss, 8vo,
contemporary calf, old skillful rebacking retaining the original
backstrip and original label, gilt: with light foxing but a very
good copy.
A scarce printing of a work, first published London 1730, which
continued to be edited down to 1824: ESTC locates a single copy in
Ireland, D, and six in the US - none in L, O or C. Gilbert’s published
works are marked by precision and lucidity of style, and very
considerable mastery of his subject, evincing a real desire to exhibit it in
a logical shape. Their clarity gave them a considerable reputation. As a
judge he was a fairly minor figure. His writings, however, cast light both
on early 18C whig views of the law, and on the process of transition
from the ‘abridgement style’ of much 17C legal writing to the modern
legal treatise (ODNB).
