Edward H Warren Appraisal

Select Cases and Other Authorities on the Law of Property by Edward H. Warren (1919)

This item is an antique legal textbook titled "Select Cases and Other Authorities on the Law of Property." The visible page, likely the title page or an early interior page, is made of off-white or cream-colored paper, which appears to have yellowed slightly with age, giving it a warm, somewhat mottled patina. The text is printed in black ink, featuring various font sizes and styles to differentiate sections (e.g., larger, bolder fonts for the main title, smaller for author and publisher details). The book was authored by Edward H. Warren, identified as the Story Professor of Law at Harvard University. It was published in 1919 by 'The Editor' from Langdell Hall, Cambridge. An interesting and unique aspect is the faint, handwritten text in what appears to be pencil or light ink at the top of the page, reading "The Psalms of David." This inscription suggests a previous owner's personal note or perhaps a repurposed use of the book, indicating a potential connection to a different subject or individual. The page exhibits some minor wear consistent with its age, such as slight discoloration and possibly some foxing, though the overall condition appears good given its age, as stated in the additional context. There are no obvious tears, significant creases, or large stains visible on this page. The paper quality seems robust, indicative of publications from the early 20th century. The typesetting is clear and professional, suggesting good craftsmanship for its era.
