Arthur Underhill Appraisal

Trusts and Trustees by Arthur Underhill, Seventh Edition, 1912

The item is a vintage legal textbook titled "Trusts and Trustees" authored by Arthur Underhill, M.A., LL.D. The title is displayed prominently in large, bold, sans-serif font at the top of the page. Below the author's name, smaller text, likely detailing his qualifications and other works, is present but partially obscured and distorted in the image. A handwritten number "1422" appears on the page, possibly an inventory or call number. The book is stated to be the "SEVENTH EDITION, Revised and Enlarged." Publication details are present at the bottom, indicating it was published in London by Butterworth & Co., Bell Yard, Temple Bar, identified as "Law Publishers." Branch locations are listed for Sydney (Butterworth & Co. (Australia), Ltd., 18, Elizabeth Street) and Calcutta (Butterworth & Co. (India), Ltd., 4/1, Hastings Street). The publication year is clearly marked as 1912. The paper appears aged with some yellowing and potential foxing visible, though the overall text remains legible. A faint, possibly water or age-related stain, is present on the lower right portion of the page. The item is framed, and the frame is partially visible at the edges of the image, suggesting it is displayed. Based on the publication date, the book is over a century old and can be considered an antique legal publication.
