Description: A Collection of the Statutes of the Parliament of England in Force in the State of North-Carolina By North Carolina Published: From the Editor's Press, Newbern, N.C., 1792. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover in full leather binding, professionally restored with new endpapers. Early owner newspaper articles adhered to front and rear pastedowns. SCARCE title. An important legal reference for the early laws of the state, this collection prints all the British laws in force in North Carolina ten years after the end of the Revolution. Most of the penal and many of the civil laws in the state were based on Parliamentary statute and British custom, and Martin, who produced many contemporary volumes on the laws of North Carolina, goes all the way back to the era of the Magna Carta. He includes an extensive table of contents and index. There were fewer than two hundred original subscribers to the work, and it was likely not printed in a quantity much larger than the original demand. Evans 24627; McMurtrie 180; Sabin 44870. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
