Book Description

Albany, NY Weed, Parsons & Company, Printers 1865 Hardcover 766pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Original black cloth with decorative blind stamping to extremities of boards. Title gilt stamped on backstrip. Very good. Some damage to front panel. Extremities rubbed.  Secretarial signatures throughout volume. As has been found in other volumes from Brigham Young's library, this volume bears a Brigham Young autograph (secretarial) on the front pastedown, as well the signature appearing every hundred pages throughout for a total of eight signatures. It is reasonable to suppose that Young had this volume to study the machinations of state government. The content of the pages signed deal with; divorce and how property should be disposed (p.101), transferring property (p.201), hiring help (p.301), powers - rights and duties of partners (p.401), property liens (p.501), injunctions (p.601) and the employment page of the index (p.701). An interesting piece of history, as well as a volume from Brigham Young's personal library.
