Negligence in Law by Thomas Beven, Third Edition, Volume II

This item is identified as a legal treatise titled "Negligence in Law" by Thomas Beven, specifically Volume II: "Special Relations Arising Out of Contract." It is presented as the "Third Edition" of the work. The visible page, likely a title page or half-title page, appears to be made of off-white or cream-colored paper, exhibiting some discoloration and minor creasing consistent with age and handling. There are subtle horizontal creases originating from the left margin, suggesting the page may have been folded or compressed at some point. A faint, reddish-brown stain or mark is noticeable in the central-left area, consistent with a liquid stain or perhaps a rust mark. The text is printed in black ink, primarily in serif fonts, with varying sizes to denote headings and subheadings. The main title "NEGLIGENCE IN LAW" is in a large, bold, all-caps serif font. Publication details indicate it was released in London by Stevens and Haynes, Law Publishers, located at 13 Bell Yard, Temple Bar, and in Toronto by Canada Law Book Co. at 32 Toronto Street. The publication year is clearly stated as 1908. Given the context of the title and publisher, this is a legal reference book from the early 20th century. The condition appears good overall, considering its age, with wear indicative of a used but well-preserved antique book rather than significant damage. The text is clear and legible, and there are no apparent tears or major rips on the visible page. The craftsmanship suggests a standard book binding of the era, typical for legal volumes, designed for durability and frequent use.
