University of Minnesota Law School Receives Historical Works on Wills & Estates

The University of Minnesota Law Library recently received a donation of rare law books from the collection of Raymond A. and Ruth A. Reister. The donation includes nearly 100 titles on inheritance, wills, and estates in Anglo-American law. Specifically, library patrons will now be able to benefit from works by William Blackstone and Francis Bacon along with a 16^th-century treatise and humorous works on eccentric wills.
