NOTES

The set on offer includes volumes 1-5 and 7-10 of Byrne's Philadelphia edition of East's seminal Reports. In America, of the complete 16-volume set, Byrne released the first fourteen volumes (the 15th was released by Isaac Riley of New York, and the 16th by Mathew Carey). These represented a continuation of a five volume set of reports East had produced with Durnford, and collectively were referenced in American courts with greater frequency than any other set of English reports (per John Gage Marvin's Legal Bibliography of 1847).
