US Supreme Court Reports Lawyers' Edition Book 46 1902 Antique Leather Law Book

This is Book 46 of the Lawyers' Edition of the United States Supreme Court Reports, the annotated set that The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company of Rochester, New York, began issuing in 1882 so attorneys could read the Court's decisions with headnotes and notes. This volume carries the cases argued and decided in the October Term of 1901, reported in volumes 183 through 186 of the U.S. Reports, and was printed in 1902. It makes a fitting piece for a law-office shelf, a collector of early legal books, or a period-style library display.
