1878 1st Edition [George Robertson, Melb] h/b 494pp EX-LIBRARY Heavy ex-library markings & stamps (incl 'WITHDRAWN'), VERY WORN COPY with binding shaken & cracked but holding, smudges & stains, some evidence of prior damp crinkling to part of book though now free-flowing without adhesion , gutters broken & covers almost fully loose but just holding on, heavily worn covers, lacking backstrip -- a sought-after true first edition nonetheless The focus of this sociological genealogy is to grasp how custom becomes transmuted into law over the millenia of a civilisation's evolution. Recent reprints are aimed principally at law students, but obviously also relevant to other disciplines (Political Philosophy, Sociology, Anthropology etc), and since Hearn was an Australian (politician, economist, lecturer), the particular influences exerted by these views in The Antipodes may be of additional interest. 1878 "Aryan Household" -- (Hearn, Melb ed-1)
