Publisher's Synopsis
""The Rights of Heirship"" is a legal treatise written by Henry Staple Causton in 1842. The book examines the English laws of descent and consanguinity as they relate to the inheritance of real property and hereditaments. Causton provides a comprehensive overview of the principles governing the transfer of property from one generation to the next, including the rules of primogeniture, entailment, and dower. He also discusses the various ways in which property can be inherited, such as by lineal or collateral descent, and explains the legal rights and obligations of heirs in different situations. The book is a valuable resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the history of English property law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
