Radulphi de Hengham's (Sir Ralph de Hengham) authorship of two short law tracts and his remarks recorded in the Year-Books have preserved for him a definite place in English medieval history. At different times during the reign of Edward I he served as Chief Justice of both the Court Coram Rege and the Common Bench. Mr Dunham's text, written in 1932, takes its place besides Professor Woodbind's work on the text of Bracton's De Legibus, Maitland's presentation of Bracton's Note Book and the Rolls and the Selden Society Year-Books. First edition, published CUP in 1932, in excellent overall condition with archival dust jacket cover; pages cut unevenly throughout. Ownership sticker of William B. Derby; ownership inscription of the late Judge Charles E. Wyzanski, formerly Chief Justice of the U.S. District Court in Boston, dated October 3, 1985 (the year before his death). A very handsome volume.
