A Treatise of the Law of Descents, written by Henry Chitty and originally published in 1825, is a comprehensive guide to the laws governing the inheritance of property in England. The book explores the various rules and principles that determine how property is passed down from one generation to the next, including the rights of heirs, the role of wills and testaments, and the effects of marriages and divorces on inheritance. Chitty's treatise also delves into the historical development of the law of descents, tracing its evolution from ancient customs and practices to the modern legal system. With its detailed analysis and practical examples, A Treatise of the Law of Descents remains a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners of English law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
