The Law of Principal and Surety by S. A. T. Bowlatt

The item is an antique legal textbook titled "THE LAW OF PRINCIPAL AND SURETY." The title page, which is the only part visible in the image, indicates the author as S. A. T. Bowlatt, M.A., and specifies that he was a late Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law. The book was published in London by Stevens and Haynes, Law Publishers, located at Bell Yard, Temple Bar. The publication date clearly visible on the title page is 1895. The title page is printed on cream-colored paper with black ink. The typography is rendered in a classic serif font, with varied sizes and weights used for the title, author, and publisher information. The overall layout is clear and uncluttered, typical of legal texts of the era. The page appears to be free from significant damage such as tears, creases, or foxing. The edges are clean and sharp. There appear to be no visible markings or annotations. The condition is described as good, which aligns with the appearance of the title page, suggesting minimal wear and preservation of the original quality of the paper and printing.
