Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Seller's Description:
Good. First edition. Octavo, 15 cm. 81 pp. Original maroon cloth, gilt title to front board and spine. Fading to spine and front board with some spotting to front board. Clean, unmarked pages. George Ernst was a Massachusetts lawyer and progressive Republican who spoke at the 1895 Annual Meeting of the Woman's Suffrage Association. In this book he outlines the history of married women's legal rights and responsibilities from the Common Law through judicial decisions and legislative acts in Massachusetts and the United States to the early 1890s. He discusses a broad range of legal issues from real estate, custody of children, and wills. The majority of the essay regards the legal right of married women's earnings and property in regards to their husbands. Ernst focuses on the limits to inheritance for wives whose husbands predecease them but fail to make a will. In such a case, the maximum amount a wife could inherit would be 50% and even less if there are children or relatives. Judges and probate courts held power over wives who had limited legal ability to obtain control of assets held in common. He ends his book with the question, "This is law, but is this justice? "
