From Wikipedia: Sir William Oldnall Russell (1785– 22 January 1833) was the Chief Justice of the Surpreme Court at Calcutta. Russell’s Treatise on Crimes and Misdemeanours, which appeared in 2 volumes in 1819, was pronounced by Samuel Warren "the best general treatise in criminal law". A second edition appeared in 1827; a third, edited by C. S. Greaves, in 1843, with a supplement in 1851; a fourth, in 3 vols., in 1865; and a fifth, edited by S. Prentice, Q.C., in 1877. The American editions, of which seven were issued between 1824 and 1853, did not reproduce the whole work. DESCRIPTION: Two Volumes, 905 and 1096 pages 10 x 6 1/2 inches leather bound hardcovers CONDITION: These hard-cover books are in very good restored condition and are fully original. The leather has been consolidated and treated so that it can survive average handling, but show wear, especially at the corners. Scuffs and scrapes have been consolidated and are no longer in danger of growing. All boards were reattached to the spine and book block and are now holding strongly. Inner hinges have been reinforced with very strong paper specially made for book repairs. There are penciled names and dates (1880) on both front endpapers. The acid in the leather has browned the page edges and both front endpapers have had the outer edges reinforced with Japanese paper. The interiors are otherwise excellent with no major marks, underlining, tears or odor. The paper is slightly toned with age. The hinges and binding are excellent with no loose or missing pages.
