Description: Georgia, 1847. 1st Edition. Leather bound. A complete run of the first 24 volumes of the State of Georgia's offical law reports. FIRST EDITIONS, FIRST PRINTINGS OF THESE RARE PRE-CIVIL WAR GEORGIA IMPRINTS. Vol. I was published in New York but Vol. II was published in Savannah, Vols. 3-20 in Athens GA and Vols. 21-24 in Columbus GA. The set is bound in matching leather but some bindings are damaged. Each volume has a law library name stamped on the covers; the front boards of Vols. I and VI are detached; the spines of Vols. I, IX, and XX are torn; most volumes have a strip of brown cloth tape across the top of the spine. ATTENTION: many bindings are fragile so one can expect other covers to detach. Other than some very minor foxing scattered throughout the set, the interior pages are clean, tight, and unmarked. Offered as-is and no returns accepted. Buyer should understand they may need to rebind these books. These reports on various law cases were standard volumes in Georgia courts but the vast majority were destroyed during the Civil War, As with other works from this era, antebellum printings from Georgia are today rarely found. Fair .
