Law of the land

I used to have a book named law of the land written by an older woman about our rights and laws.

How long ago did you own/read it? Any idea when it might have been published?
Which country's laws?

There's a Law of the land by Marguerite Allis from 1948, but I can't find any other information about it online.

ETA: no, that seems to be fiction about a railroad https://www.nytimes.com/1948/06/13/archives/saga-of-the-nynh-h-law-of-the-land-b...
