Summary
Details

""The Law of Infancy and Coverture"" by Peregrine Bingham offers a detailed examination of the legal status of minors (infants) and married women (under coverture) in the early 19th century. This first American edition, derived from the last London edition, is enhanced with notes and references to American decisions, making it a valuable resource for legal scholars and historians. The text explores the rights, responsibilities, and legal limitations imposed upon these groups, shedding light on the historical context of family law and gender roles. A crucial resource for understanding the evolution of legal thought and societal norms surrounding dependency and protection under the law.
