Commonplace Book of Thomas Turner Fauntleroy

This commonplace book of precedents is arranged by subjects and contains citations from English and American sources. Written in more than one hand, apparently over a number of years. The end paper contains a list of law books owned by Turner on Jaunary 1, 1828.

It is likely that Turner passed this book on to his son, Thomas Turner Fauntleroy, Jr., of Winchester, Virginia, who graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1844, and was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1857. Pasted in the book are two clippings about Fauntleroy, Jr.

This book was transferred to the Law Library from the rare book stacks in 1992.
