This copy is from the library of Archibald Rosser (1789-1846), early nineteenth-century British solicitor and legal writer, who had chambers in New Boswell Court, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. One of his best-known works, still cited today, is Credit Pernicious (1823), which he first published anonymously but later claimed (see Halkett and Laing, A Dictionary of the Anonymous and Pseudonymous Literature of Great Britain (1882), vol. 1, p. 532). His full name was Archibald Richard Francis Rosser, but he often went by simply Archibald Rosser.
