Every Man's Own Lawyer - A Handy Book Of The Principles Of Law And Equity, Comprising The Rights And Wrongs Of Individuals etc...
By A. Barrister
Published by Lockwood & Co: London 1863 2nd Edition, Revised & Enlarged

"Every Man's Own Lawyer - A Handy Book of the Principles of Law and Equity by "A. Barrister," published by Lockwood & Co. in London in 1863, is a remarkably comprehensive legal manual designed to explain English law in plain and practical terms. This second edition, revised and enlarged, covers a vast array of subjects including contracts, property, wills, partnerships, marriage, bankruptcy, and criminal offences, aiming to provide ordinary citizens with a clear understanding of their rights and obligations under the law. Written at a time when access to legal advice was often costly and limited, it served as an indispensable guide for tradesmen, householders, and professionals alike, demystifying the complexities of legal procedure and civil justice.

The anonymous author—an experienced barrister—presents the material with both precision and clarity, emphasizing how the principles of law and equity apply to daily life. The inclusion of updated statutes and recent legal reforms in this edition reflects the mid-Victorian push toward legal modernization and greater public accessibility. Its practical examples and concise explanations make it more than a reference work; it functions as a civic education tool, teaching readers not only how to defend their interests but also how to act responsibly within an evolving legal system.

Attractively produced and widely circulated in its day, Every Man's Own Lawyer became one of the most trusted household law guides of the nineteenth century, bridging the gap between professional counsel and public knowledge. This 1863 edition, with its expanded content and early imprint, is of particular interest to collectors of Victorian legal history, social reform literature, and practical reference works from Britain's transformative mid-century period."
