An old book of laws, considered to be the first illustrated law book ever published, has recently been given to the Harvard Law Library by a friend of the University, it was announced yesterday.

Published in 1520 in Paris by a certain William Le Rouihe, the book is entitled "Justice and Injustice", and is a treatise on sixteenth century laws. It contains six full page woodcuts, five showing early criminal courts and one an allegory on justice. In all there are about 100 pages, printed in French.

The book was offered to the library some time ago by a London bookseller, but the Law School had to refuse it because of lack of funds. It will be put in a safe with the collection of rare publications.
