Description: First Holmes edition. "England has only furnished one Blackstone, and the American rival equals him in classic purity and elegance of style, and surpasses him in extent and copiousness of learning." - J.G. Marvin. Kent's Commentaries are a "masterpiece" that is "so interwoven with judicial decisions that these commentaries upon our frame of government and system of laws will doubtless continue to rank as the First of American legal classics." - J.G. Gould. Future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes edited this twelfth edition, which was published first in 1873. Holmes devoted more than three years of his life to "bring this work down through the quarter of a century" that had elapsed since Kent's death. Modern tan buckram with black lettering on spine. New endpapers. Owner's signature on endpapers. No library stamps. Some minor tape repairs as shown, two faint, one much more obvious. A nice, rarely used set.
