Title
The orphans legacy: or, A testamentary abridgment. In three parts. I. Of last-wills and testaments. II. Of executors and administrators. III. Of legacies and devises. Wherein the most material points of law relating to that subject, are succinctly treated, as well according to the common and temporal, as ecclesiastical and civil laws of this realm. Illustrated with a great variety of select cases in the law of both professions, as well delightful in the theory, as useful for the practice of all such as study the one, or are either active or passive in the other. The third edition much augmented and enlarged. By John Godolphin, LL.D.
