Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Brown's Bibliography^[1] includes the first edition (1742) of Cooke's Reports and Cases of Practice in the Court of Common Pleas based on quotations in the manuscript copy of John Marshall's law notes. The Wolf Law Library moved a copy of the same edition from the general rare books collection to the George Wythe Collection.

Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy

Copy lacks covers. Bound with two other titles by George Cooke, Rules, Orders and Notices, in the Court of King's Bench: From the Second of King James I to Michaelmas term the 14th of King George II. (London, In the Savoy: Printed by E. and R. Nutt, and R. Gosling, 1740), and Rules, Orders and Notices, in the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster: from the 35th of King Henry VI to Hilary term the 15th of King George II. (London, In the Savoy : H. Lintot, 1742).
