More DescriptionThis third volume reproduces Baron and Feme: A Treatise of Law and Equity, Concerning Husbands and Wives, 3rd ed. (1738). It was published anonymously in 1700, and no attribution has yet been found for it. It is the first known legal treatise that focuses exclusively on the laws concerning husbands and wives. Written for an audience of legal professionals, the treatise's value lies in its clear enunciation of rules of law and legal principles, particularly to do with obligations, annuity, dower and jointure rights. The version reproduced here is the third edition, which was the first to be published in English rather than Latin.
