DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND DEATH IN CANADA (1959 Legal Textbook)

The item is the title page of a vintage legal textbook titled "DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND DEATH IN CANADA." The page is made of off-white to light cream paper, suggesting a slight aging or natural paper color. The text is printed in a dark, possibly black or very dark grey, ink in a clear, traditional serif font. The layout is centered and hierarchical, with the main title prominently displayed. Notable features include the full title, "DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND DEATH IN CANADA," followed by a decorative row of five dots. The book was edited and includes introductory notes by Immanuel Goldsmith, LL.B. (Lond.), Barrister-at-Law of the Middle Temple. Case abridgments were prepared by the late Alan Burnside Harvey, Q.C., B.A., B.C.L., M.A. of the Middle Temple and of the Bars of Alberta and Ontario, and by David Carruthers of the Publisher's Editorial Staff. The publisher is identified as THE CARSWELL COMPANY LIMITED, with their address at 145 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Canada. A significant detail is the publication year, 1959, clearly printed on the page. The visible condition, as described, is good. There are no obvious tears, significant creases, or large stains. The paper appears to have a consistent color with no major discoloration outside of what would be expected from a book of this age. The printing is sharp and legible, indicating good preservation. The left edge of the page shows a slight curve, suggesting it is bound within a book, and the binding appears intact. The overall quality of printing and paper seems to be robust, characteristic of legal texts intended for long-term use. This book represents a specific historical moment in Canadian legal literature regarding tort law.
