| Description | Legal precedents and law forms, including, at page 273, a copy of a grant for 1,000 years of lands for the better endowment of Chesterfield School. The book is paged up to 408; then follow "Observations"; a case for counsel to advise with his opinion at foot (28 May 1760); copy will and codicil of Henry Pelham (1748-1751).
The precedents are copied by, presumably, a lawyer or law student, and there is an index to the precedents at the end of the book. On the front page the following names have been written in various hands viz: Thomas Wigley, Jonathan Lee, Chesterfield and Thomas Higley. |
