Sydney: J. Moore 1859. 12mo. Orig. brown cloth with paper title label on front cover. (112pp.). Previous owner's signature in blue ink on front endpaper. A nice copy. NOTE: A very scarce Sydney-printed first essential legal text tailored for the unique conditions where convicts mingled freely with settlers. Not in Ferguson perhaps surprisingly. Four copies are now recorded in Australian collections.
