Supplied title based on actual contents of the mutilated volume (at least 10 leaves at the beginning and several at end are lost, as are the covers).
The author, not named on the preserved pages, appears to have been teaching at a law school in New York State (cf. p. 399).
Written all in one extremely neat hand, probably not far from the school; impression is that of a clean copy of text taken originally from the lecturer's dictation.
Text of the lectures is on odd-numbered pages; even pages blank or containing notes of pertinent cases.
Preserved material begins with a special lecture, Preparation of causes for argument; this is followed by systematic treatment: Book 1st, General remarks and personal rights; book 2, Personal property. Book 3, Real property, begins on p. 751 and may not have been included in its entirety in the present volume.
The lectures cite statutory law through 1870; a note on p. 184 concerning New York legislation of 1875 appears to be an updating addition.
Acquisition/accession information lost with the lost parts noted above.
