The Law of Landlord and Tenant: With a Copious Collection of Useful Forms. London: Routledge, Warne, and Routledge, 1860. iv, 192 pp. Contemporary orange cloth with black ink stamped spine and covers. Worn and soiled with rubbing to spine and extremities. Publisher's catalogue to endpapers. Bookseller's ticket "J. Mordy/ Workington" to front pastedown. Internally clean. A good copy. $45. * A comprehensive guide to the legal issues affecting landlords and tenants in Great Britain. It was intended for a lay audience, including property owners and real estate professionals, rather than exclusively for legal experts. The book deals with British law as it stood around 1860, including topics such as waste (the law regarding how tenants use land), covenants, and assignment of tenancy interests, reflecting the legal framework of that era. The bookseller's ticket is almost certainly that of the nineteenth-century printer and bookseller John Mordy of Workington, Cumbria, England.

For Jessel's judicial high standing see his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. In envelope with Penny Red and postmarks, and 'LADHAM HOUSE, | GOLDHURST' printed on the flap, addressed by Jessel to 'E. A. Scott Esq | Schoolfield | Rugby | Warwickshire'. The envelope is signed 'G. Jessel' at bottom left of cover, and the letter concludes with the same signature. He is 'glad to be able now to withdraw the notice' he gave Scott about his son Charles 'leaving Rugby'. He explains that he 'thought the best thing to do was to send him your letter and to point out to him that it would be better to remain'. While he is 'still nervous about passing the matriculation examination at Balliol', Charles has decided to 'rely upon the opinions of Messrs. Whitelaw & [Edgeworth?] & to relinquish his proposed stay at a private tutor's' The son did indeed matriculate to Balliol. He go on to amass great wealth as Vice-Chairman of the British North Borneo Company, having the city of Jesselton in India (now Kota Kinabalu) named after him.
