INSCRIBED on the front free endpaper "To my good friend Geo/Bye- who managed to get/money for stuff that he would/have been glad to pay any/journalists or magazine editors/for printing them/With regard and affection of" and SIGNED "Clarence Darrow/June 6th 1929." Bye was a public relations and literary agent who worked for Darrow placing his articles as well as for other notable figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt.

A gorgeous copy, beautifully preserved, with the original dustwrapper which has a long, jagged but closed tear on the front panel that, under mylar, is not terribly offensive.

Four octavo (5-1/2" x 8-3/4") volumes bound in original sheep with modern sheep spines and gilt-lettered black morocco spine labels. Senator Charles Sumner's copy with his SIGNED PRESENTATION in the first volume: "This copy of Kent's Com-/mentaries, a present to me/from the Author, is offered/with pleasure to the Library/of Olivet College,/Michigan./Charles Sumner/Boston Dec. 26th 1847." Above the inscription Sumner has written the library number of this copy in his personal library. The other three volumes bear a signature that may be Sumner's along with his library notation. Sumner, an 1830 graduate of Harvard, was admitted to the bar in 1834. In 1850, he was chosen to the United States Senate from Massachusetts, in place of Daniel Webster, where he opposed the Fugitive Slave Law. Sumner was perhaps the most influential man in public life after Lincoln at the end of the Civil War and was a notable advocate for emancipation of the slaves and later for civil rights. James Kent's fame rests with his authorship of this text, a formative influence on American jurisprudence and legal education. During the Civil War Kent was one of the most perceptive commentators on law in antebellum America. An exceptional copy of the most important American institutional legal treatise, America's first legal classic, owned by one of this country's most famous senators. Light and scattered foxing. Some loss of leather to the boards, mostly along the edges.
