Front hinge cracked, rear hinge starting, offsetting to margins of endleaves. Moderate toning, early owner signatures (Jacob K. Shafer, other illegible) to front pastedown. $750. * Third edition, and particularly significant because it was the last edition personally revised, corrected, and enlarged by the author before his death in 1845. Subsequent editions were published posthumously and edited by others. Jacob K. Shafer (1823-1876), was an American lawyer, district attorney, mayor, and congressman. This distinguished treatise was first published in 1838. According to Simon Greenleaf, "there are no works in our language, in which the true doctrines and practice of the Law of Equity.are so convincingly taught; and probably no one of his works has been received by the profession with greater thankfulness, or is more frequently consulted, than [this work]" (cited in Marvin). It was one of the five treatises Abraham Lincoln assigned to his law apprentices. A standard work for many years, its final edition (the thirteenth) was issued in 1886.
