Constructive Murder in Canadian and English Law Reprint

This item is a pamphlet or offprint titled "Constructive Murder in Canadian and English Law" by J. Ll. J. Edwards. It appears to be a research paper or article reprinted from the University of Malaya Law Review, Volume 1, Number 1, pages 17-38, published in July 1959. The physical form is a softcover document, likely stapled or stitched together, with a light-colored cover, possibly cardstock, which has yellowed with age. The text is printed in black ink. A significant feature is the handwritten inscription at the top of the cover, which reads "With all my best wishes, John Edwards." This indicates a personal connection or gift from the author. The cover shows signs of wear and aging, including creases, smudges, and potential foxing or discoloration consistent with a paper document from the mid-20th century. There are no visible maker's marks or elaborate design elements, consistent with a scholarly reprint rather than a commercially bound book. The overall condition appears fair, showing typical signs of age and handling for a paper item of this type and era. The craftsmanship is basic, focused on presenting the academic content clearly. The item's style is that of academic publishing from the 1950s.
