Publisher's Synopsis
""The Law of the Land; or London in the Last Century"" is a three-act drama written by W.H. Wills. Set in London during the 18th century, the play explores the themes of justice, morality, and the law. The story revolves around the character of Sir William Meredith, a respected judge who is known for his strict adherence to the law. However, when his own son is accused of a crime, Sir William is forced to confront the limitations of the legal system and the complexities of human nature. Through a series of dramatic confrontations and revelations, the play explores the tension between justice and mercy, and the ways in which the law can both protect and oppress individuals. With its rich historical setting and compelling characters, ""The Law of the Land"" offers a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of law and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
