An exceptional association copy of the only edition, uniquely linking four distinguished figures of the Mid-Hudson legal establishment. This volume represents a nexus of scholarship and political power in 19th-century New York. George van Sandvoord & David L. Seymour: Van Sandvoord was a preeminent scholar-jurist and author of the definitive treatise on the Field Code. His partner, Seymour, was a formidable political figure, serving as Rensselaer County D.A. and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Anson Bingham & Andrew J. Colvin: Bingham was a titan of real property law and a primary advocate for the 1860 Married Women's Property Act. His partner, Colvin, served as Albany's Corporation Counsel and State Senator; he is perhaps best remembered as the visionary behind the New York Forest Preserve. A Treatise on Rents is more than a legal text; it is a direct artifact of the Anti-Rent War (1839-1846). This tenant uprising against the "patroonship" system of the Van Rensselaers forced a total reckoning of New York's land-tenure laws. The work captures the legal environment that birthed the 1846 State Constitution, which finally abolished long-term feudal leases and dismantled the last vestiges of Dutch manorial privilege in the Hudson Valley.
