Do you write in your books? Over 250 years ago, the owner of this copy of Richard Burn’s Justice of the Peace and Parish Officer (London, 1755) wrote in the margins—and bound in over 70 extra pages in the back for making more notes! Check out the annotations on the topic of "Burglary."
The Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room, located in the Boston College Law Library, houses the Library’s collection of rare law books and manuscripts. Represented in the collection are the books that working English and American lawyers in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries likely would have owned in their personal libraries. Other highlights include books and manuscripts pertaining to the history of American legal education through the nineteenth century and a collection featuring works by and about St. Thomas More.
