Sobre este artículo
(So labelled on spines) In three volumes. Bathurst, Gambia: Government Printer, 1886-1915 Contemporary quarter calf, Roy.4to. The Ordinances (Laws) of the Colony of the Gambia bound in three volumes. Volume I is prefaced by a handwritten letter from the Acting Administrator, H. M. Brandford Griffith at Government House Bathurst replying to a request from the Librarian of the Inner Temple to supply the ordinances. Volume I (1886-1897) contains 121 ordinances and although a few are missing (being out-of-print at the time of the request), these are noted with their titles. All were printed by J. Taylor Coker, the Government Printer, with print runs of between 65 and 150 copies. Volume II (1897-1906) contains 121 ordinances, mostly printed by J. Taylor Coker and N. E. Williams, the Government Printers, with print runs of between 70 and 100 copies. Volume III (1907-1915) contains 158 ordinances printed by the Government Printers. Both volumes II and III contain typewritten letters from the Colonial Secretary at Government House, Bathurst. A fascinating insight into colonial history, covering subjects as diverse as dog licences, customs regulations, annual expenditure, trading with the enemy, etc. All volumes contain the bookplate of the Inner Temple Library, each ordinance with the small ink stamp of that library. The leather spines are all worn. A good set of the first editions.
