In an ambitious effort to democratize legal access, the publisher's advertisement notes that this edition was: ".designed for the use of all classes of citizens, and not for those exclusively who are engaged in the practice of Law." The volumes were meticulously designed to synthesize an entire legal library, aiming to serve as a reliable, single-source substitute for the thirty-four separate volumes of Law Reports from which its extensive notes were abstracted. The compiler, Francis O.J. Smith, was a prominent Maine attorney and politician who would later secure a unique place in American history as an early business partner of Samuel Morse, helping to develop and promote the magnetic telegraph. An exceptional, well-preserved copy of early New England legal history in a handsome contemporary binding. Williamson, A Bibliography of Maine 9231. Babbitt, Hand-List of Legislative Sessions and Session Laws 160.
