Constructive Murder in Canadian and English Law by J. Ll. J. Edwards (Signed Reprint)

This item is a single-sheet or unbound reprint of a legal article titled 'CONSTRUCTIVE MURDER IN CANADIAN AND ENGLISH LAW' by J. Ll. J. Edwards. It appears to be a greyish-cream or light tan-colored paper, likely aged by time. The text is printed in black ink, featuring a formal, serif typeface for the main title and author's name, while the reprint information below is in a smaller, possibly slightly italicized or different serif font. Notably, there is a handwritten inscription at the top left, which reads 'With all my best wishes, John Edwards,' suggesting a personal dedication from the author. This autograph is a key distinguishing feature, adding potential value and provenance. The paper shows visible signs of age, including slight discoloration or foxing, subtle creasing, and what appears to be a worn or frayed edge on the right side, consistent with handling and storage over many decades. There are no obvious tears or significant damage visible, but the general condition indicates its antique or vintage nature. The manufacturing details state it was 'Reprinted from University of Malaya Law Review, Vol. I—No. 1, Page 17-18 (July 1959).' This indicates the precise publication source and date, placing its estimated age at over 60 years old. Given it's a reprint from an academic law review, it would have been produced as a scholarly document, likely with standard paper quality for academic publications of that era. Its unique aspect is the author's inscription, which elevates it beyond a mere academic reprint to a potentially collectible piece.
