[Powers Rare Books]

I can offer…

GRAY’S INN IN 1929.  THE LIBRARY, MR. BALDWIN’S VISIT, THE HOUSE DINNER.  [London]: Printed for the Society [by] The Chiswick Press, 1930.  First edition.  Small 4to, quarter blue roan and cloth.  [iv], 73 pp.  Spine ends chipped, the leather at the upper joint just splitting.

 This copy is inscribed at a later date: “To His Honour Mr. Justice Felix Frankfurter from The Master of the Library of Gray’s Inn which ancient society delights to welcome its new Honorary Bencher.  N. L. Macarkin [?] Q.C., 22.10.52.”  There is a Library of Congress surplus/duplicate stamp on the blank beneath the inscription, but no other library markings.  The book is not, alas, signed by Frankfurter himself.

$50 plus shipping
