[Karmbooks at aol.com]

(LAW) Coke, Edmund. THE FIRST PART OF THE INSTITUTES OF THE LAWS OF 
ENGLAND, or, a Commentarie Upon Littlejohn... London: [Adam Islip] For the Society 
of Stationers. 1628. Folio. ff.(7),395,(1). Lacking blank A1. Title within 
an ornate woodcut border. Cont. calf, somewhat worn, spine/hinges with a few 
cracks & chips, but quite sound. The first leaf of text after the preface is 
a bit chipped at the edges, with some marginal creases (it appears that it 
may have been loose at some time and re-inserted, but not from another copy 
as the leaf size is exact). Quite clean internally.     $1,750.00 (trade 
discount allowed)
As with many copies, the folding table of consanguinity and the 1 or 2 
portraits are not present. Nevertheless, this is a decent copy, in its original 
binding, of one of the greatest books of English law. See PRINTING AND THE 
MIND OF MAN #126. STC 15784.
