The Law Relating To Executors And Administrators By Ingpen And Wallace 1909 Appraisal

The Law Relating to Executors and Administrators by Ingpen and Wallace (1909)

This item is an antique legal textbook titled "The Law Relating to Executors and Administrators." The image displays the title page, which is a key identifying feature of the book. The book was authored by Arthur Robert Ingpen, with "Notes of Canadian Cases" by William Bernard Wallace, L.L.B. It was published in London by Stevens and Sons, Ltd. at 119 & 120 Chancery Lane, and in Toronto by Canada Law Book Company, Limited, identified as "KoLo Publishers." The publication year is clearly visible as 1909. The physical characteristics visible include aged paper, which has a distinct off-white or yellowish hue, indicative of its age. The print is in black ink, featuring various font sizes and styles to differentiate sections of the title page, from large, bold lettering for the main title to smaller, standard fonts for author and publisher details. The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with some minor creasing or slight discoloration evident on the page, consistent with normal wear and handling over more than a century. There are no obvious tears, significant stains, or major damage visible on the title page itself, suggesting careful preservation or infrequent use. The binding is not visible in this image. This book serves as a historical legal reference, and its age places it firmly within the Edwardian era, offering insight into early 20th-century Canadian and British law concerning estates and trusts. The inclusion of Canadian cases makes it particularly relevant for common law jurisdictions with historical ties to British legal principles.
