1920, Laws of the Federated Malay States

|
The laws of the Federated Malay States, 1877-1920: comp. by A. B. Voules, Vol. 1-3, publ. by authority, London, pr. by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ltd., 1921. (The Federated Malay States was a loose, nominally independent, unit of peninsular principalities fostered by the authorities in the adjoining British Colony of the Straits Settlements as a way keeping relative peace in the area. Prior to the Federation in December, 1909, the Councils of each of the four states {Perak, Selangor, Pahang & Negri Sembilan} passed their own laws, many of which were identical in all four states. Volume One of this work contains laws passed before Federation that were common to all four states {with minor differences being shown by footnotes} and also laws applying only to one state. Volumes Two and Three contain laws passed by the Federal Council. Special thanks is extended to the Connecticut State Library for acquiring, preserving and donating this rare title. It does not appear to have been held by any of the “twelve great law libraries” surveyed for the apposite bibliography The Common Law Abroad.)
