1544ABC_46700The Hague: sold by Frans Duyck Pietersz. colophon: Delft printed by Symon Jansz. 1544. Modern half brown buckram marbled paper sides blue endpapers with an older ca. 1840 front wrapper bound in. 4to. With the woodcut crowned coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V with the order of the Golden Fleece a column on either side and the motto plus oultre on the title-page. Set in 2 sizes of textura gothic type with 2 lombardic initials cast type. First and only edition of a rare ordinance printed in Delft. The ordinance promulgated 19 May 1544 tried to reduce or at least prevent a further rise in crime in Holland and even in other parts of the Holy Roman Empire by addressing the negligence of officers in enforcing the law. It notes that crime rates - from murders to fraud and other smaller incidents - are rising in Holland and across the Holy Roman Empire because officers of the law are failing to do their jobs in the eyes of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and other lower ranking officials like the stadtholders in the Low Countries. The present ordinance addresses problems concerning the enabling fraudulent behaviour towards creditors of any kind authorities too readily issuing letters permitting deferment of payment resulting in an exorbitant volume of unpaid debts. In total the ordinance contains 40 rules and regulations mainly for officers of the law but also for criminals and others profiting from the lack of law enforcement decreed and published with the intent of bringing down crime rates and reminding officers of their duties. The printer Simon Jansz. in Delft printed the ordinance in two issues the present for Frans Duyck Pietersz. in the Hague and the other with his own imprint Typ. Batava 5796 2 copies.With contemporary marginal annotations and underlining of the text in pen.

From the dust jacket: "For more than 35 years Oscar Goodman was the country's pre-eminent defense attorney for alleged gangsters. His endless client list included Meyer Lansky Nick Civella Anthony Spilotro Frank Rosenthal Jimmy Chagra Natale Richichi Nicky Scarfo and Vinny Ferrara along with many others. Though no further connection between Goodman and the Mafia has ever been proved the famous litigator has often been accused of being more than just a mouthpiece for organized crime. Was Oscar Goodman only what he claims an attorney who defended his clients based on the simple principle that they too have constitutional rights And if so how did he manage to mingle with the mob for decades without becoming part of it After scores of unlikely courtroom victories Goodman pulled off an even more unlikely career change. Twice elected mayor of Las Vegas he went from legal spokesman for the most notorious crime figures of our era to political spokesman for the most notorious city in the country.".
