Dublin: Peter Hoey, and John Jones, 1789. The Fifth Edition, With Large Additions and Improvements, and A Copious Alphabetical Index. Octavo, xvi, 255, [10] pages, bound in period full leather with spine label and gilt bands. Peter Lovelass’s The Law’s Disposal of a Person’s Estate Who Dies Without Will or Testament is a practical Georgian legal manual explaining the English laws of inheritance, intestacy, wills, probate, executorship, and estate administration for a general readership. Written in a deliberately “clear, plain, easy, and familiar” manner, the work shows how real and personal property would pass to a person’s family or relations if he died without a will, while also giving instructions for making, altering, and republishing a will. The book further addresses the customs of the City of London and Province of York, explains the Mortmain Act, and supplies guidance for executors after a testator’s death, including proving the will, collecting effects, paying debts, and distributing legacies. This 1789 Dublin edition is an appealing 18th-century legal imprint, with strong interest for collectors of Georgian law, wills and estates, probate practice, inheritance, Anglo-Irish printing, and practical legal guides intended for household and family use. Some rubbing and wear, scuffs, front hinge starting, previous owner's inscription, some occasional scattered foxing and discoloration, else in very good condition. Item #325
