Oconnors Highway Traffic Act Fifth Edition 1952 Appraisal

O'Connor's Highway Traffic Act, Fifth Edition (1952)

This item is a copy of "O'Connor's Highway Traffic Act," which also includes "The (Automobile) Insurance Act and The Negligence Act, Etc." The full title on the title page further clarifies its content: "BEING AN ANNOTATION OF THE ABOVE ONTARIO ACTS AND SOME ANALOGOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CORRESPONDING ACTS OF THE OTHER PROVINCES OF CANADA." This indicates it is a legal reference book focusing on Canadian, specifically Ontario, legislation surrounding highway traffic, automobile insurance, and negligence law. The book is identified as the "FIFTH EDITION" and authored by "AUSTIN O'CONNOR," who is noted as "One of His Majesty's Counsel." The publication details at the bottom of the page state the year of publication as "1952" (seen in a clearer image of a date on the bottom left corner: '1952'), by "The CARSWELL COMPANY, LIMITED, Toronto," and that it was "Printed in Canada." The physical characteristics visible include a light-colored, possibly off-white or cream-colored, paper for the title page, with black printed text. The text is clear and legible. There are handwritten or stamped details at the top of the page, potentially ownership marks or library stamps, including addresses and phone numbers (e.g., "1529 GRAFTON ST.", "P. O. BOX 25, HALIFAX, N.S.", and phone numbers like "633-214" or "423-6259"). Another stamp appears to be from "WAYNE W. KELLER." The overall condition appears to be good given the clean and intact title page, with minimal visible signs of wear such as creases or significant discoloration. The paper shows a slight aged patina consistent with its estimated age from the mid-20th century.
