James Maidment was born in 1793. Passing the Scottish bar, he became a authority on genealogical cases. Alongside a legal career, Maidment was a collector and antiquarian, publishing works of historical interest. A poet himself, Maidment was also a good friend of the famous Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott. A very scarce work. In a half straight-grained morocco binding with marbled boards. Externally, sound, though with some rubbing. Front hinge tender. Ink inscriptions to front pastedown. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are bright, with just a few instances of foxing. Good.
