The penal code of the State of California: 1st ed., annotated by Creed Haymond and John C. Burch of the California Code Commission, lxiii+1+628p, San
Francisco, A.L. Bancroft & Co., and Sumner Whitney & Co., 1874, all published. (In 1870 a Code Commission was appointed to draft “a complete system
of laws for presentation to and later enactment by the Legislature. The Commission was formed of Creed Haymond, Chair, John C. Burch, and John H.
McKune. It’s work was presented in four volumes, respectively entitled the “Political,” “Civil,” “Civil Procedure.” and “Penal” Codes. These were enacted
into law in 1872 and published by the State in four single volumes. Subsequently, two of the Commissioners, Haymond and Burch, authored annotated
editions of those basic codes, which were published commercially in 1872 and reprinted in 1874 {the printing offered here}. As the authors explain in their
preface: “The Penal Code consists of a systematic classification of public wrongs or offenses against the State, and laws for their prevention or for
the punishment of those offending.”)
