Further information:
The full title of the book is, 'The Country Justice, containing the practice of the justices of the peace out of their sessions' but it has nothing to do directly with the content. The work depicts the covers of 1000 books that have been banned, a few of which still are banned. Returning in tandem with the images is a text taken from a manual on printing. In a strange way the law and printing cross in the banned titles.
