Bernard Wallace Russell Appraisal

Office and Practice of a Notary of Canada (Excepting Province of Quebec) by Bernard Wallace Russell, 2nd Edition

This item is a vintage legal textbook titled "Office and Practice of a Notary of Canada (Excepting Province of Quebec)". The title page indicates it is the second edition, authored by Bernard Wallace Russell, B.A., LL.B., K.C., of the Bar of Nova Scotia and formerly a Lecturer at Dalhousie University. The book was edited by Verona Taylor, B.A., of Osgoode Hall and Librarian of the County of York Law Association. It was published in Toronto by The Carswell Company, Limited in 1927. The visible portion is the title page, printed on what appears to be aged paper, displaying a creamy off-white or light tan color. The text is printed in black ink, with varying font sizes used for different sections of the title page. The book's binding or cover is not visible in the image, but the flat presentation of the page suggests it is likely a bound volume. There are no visible tears, stains, or significant damage on the title page itself. The text is clear and legible, indicating good print quality for its age. The condition appears to be consistent with the description of 'in good condition,' with the natural signs of aging typical of paper from this period, such as potential yellowing or foxing not clearly visible in this image but implied by the age. The overall presentation suggests a well-preserved copy of a specialized legal publication from the early 20th century.
