Browne and Watts' Law and Practice in Divorce & Matrimonial Causes, Eighth Edition (1913)

This item is the title page of a legal treatise titled "BROWNE AND WATTS' Law and Practice in DIVORCE & MATRIMONIAL CAUSES." It is specified as the "EIGHTH EDITION." The author is listed as "J. H. WATTS, OF THE INNER TEMPLE AND THE SOUTH-EASTERN CIRCUIT, BARRISTER-AT-LAW." The book was published in London by two different publishers: "SWEET & MAXWELL, Ltd., 3, CHANCERY LANE" and "STEVENS & SONS, Ltd., 119 & 130, CHANCERY LANE." The publication year is clearly stated as 1913. The page itself appears to be made of aged paper, exhibiting a warm beige or light brown hue indicative of its age, but without significant discoloration or foxing visible from the image. The text is printed in black ink using a mix of serif and sans-serif fonts, with title elements in larger, bolder typefaces and some phrases in an ornate script (e.g., "Law and Practice"). There are no visible tears, folds, or prominent stains, suggesting the book is in good condition for its age. The print quality appears crisp, with good legibility. The page layout is classic for a title page of this period, with centered text blocks of varying sizes guiding the reader's eye. The paper reflects light somewhat, suggesting a smooth, possibly slightly calendared surface. The overall presentation is professional and indicative of a scholarly publication from the early 20th century.
