Pages : 702
Book Description
Excerpt from A History of English Law, Vol. 2 This volume and the following have been considerably altered, partially rewritten, and where necessary expanded. The second volume contains ninety more pages, and the third volume one hundred and sixty-three more pages than they contained in the first edition. During the thirteen years which have elapsed since the publication of the first edition, my knowledge of different parts of the subject has naturally increased, and I have become conscious of the inadequacy of my treatment of parts of the subject. It is for this reason that I have added introductions to Books II. and III., that I have added a new first chapter to the First Part of Book III., and that I have rearranged Chapters II. and IV. of that part. It is partly for the same reason that I have made very considerable alterations in all the chapters of Part II. of Book III. which is contained in Volume III. But these additions and alterations are due more particularly to the following reasons: Firstly, a good deal of very important new matter has been published since 1909, which has necessitated the rewriting of many parts of Volumes II. and III.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of English Law, Vol. 2: Before the Time of Edward I p. 149. As to the ownership and possession of movables, the articles by Mr J. B. Ames in Harv. L. R vol xi. pp. 277 ff. should be consulted. p. 360, note 1. As to the forfeiture of the goods of a man who dies desperate, see Art.30 of the Preston Custumal (Harland, Mamecestre, vol. iii. p. xxxviii). p. 363, note 2. Add a reference to Records of Leicester, p. 219. In 1293 the burgesses decide that the heir is to have the best cauldron, the best pot and so forth. In Scotland the 'heirship movables' were of considerable importance. In the seventeenth century the heir would take, among other things, 'the great House Bible, a Psalm-book, the Acts of Parliament.' See Hope's Minor Practicks, ed. 1734, p. 538. p. 372, note 1. An interesting historical account of the Scottish law of marriage by Mr F. P. Walker will be found in Green's Encyclopaedia of the Law of Scotland. Pre-Tridentine Catholicism seems to find its best modern representative in this protestant kingdom. p. 485, note 5, and p. 636, note 2. The Annals of Winchester, p. 25, and Thomas Wykes, p. 235, differ about the number of the compurgators, which may have been 25 or 50. p. 500, side-note, should read 'Treason contrasted with felony.' p. 537, note 5. So the burgess of Preston who has charged a married woman with unchastity must proclaim himself a liar holding his nose with his fingers: Harland, Mamecestre, vol. iii p. xl.

The Commentaries on the Laws of England of Sir William Blackstone, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Author: William BlackstonePublisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781528485944
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
The Commentaries on the Laws of England was a four volume set intended to bring England's common law into a realm of understanding for the average citizen. The second volume, presented here, details the rights of 'things'. Blackstone's work was credited as being the first since the Middle Ages to methodically examine the laws of England. His work is credited with helping to lay the foundation for the American legal system. This volume examines the laws surrounding property and ownership. It is the longest volume of the set, and deals extensively with real property as well as chattel property. The work is presented without an introduction, but is preceded by a table of contents and concluded with a detailed index. As it was upon its original publication, The Commentaries on the Laws of England remains a surprisingly readable text. It is for this reason that Blackstone's work became so influential in the first place, as this feature made his books accessible by the layperson. While the first volume of the set may prove more interesting for some readers, as it details the rights of persons, this volume is still fascinating for its insight into a feudal society's perspective of property. The Commentaries on the Laws of England was a monumental text upon its original publication, and remains a work of great historical significance. Anybody interested in legal history, particularly in the British or American realms, will find this to be an important and fascinating read.

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1436
Book Description
"One of the Truly Great Pieces of Historical Literature of all Time" --Norman F. Cantor, Inventing the Middle Ages 66. Originally published: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1898. 2 vols. xxxviii, 688; xiv, 691 pp. Reprint of the second and best edition. The History of English Law was the first systematic history based on modern historical methods. It addresses the period before the Norman Conquest in 1066, but deals primarily with the creation and establishment of the common law, a process initiated in the reign of Henry II (1154-1189) and concluded in the reign of Edward I (1272-1307). The first volume traces this history. The second volume treats the doctrines of the common law, including tenure, the law of personal condition, status and estate, and the jurisdiction and communities of the land. Gracefully written and enriched with countless references this is an essential book. First published in 1895, it remains a primary text for students of legal history and the social history of medieval England.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of English Law, Vol. 6 Both in the fourth volume of this History, and still more in this volume, the number Of pages allotted by my publishers has been exceeded. It is due to the liberality of the Directors of the Commonwealth Fund of the United States, on the recommendation of their Legal Research Committee, that I have been able to include in the fourth volume and in this volume the extra pages needed to Obtain completeness of treatment. I t is naturally a source of great satisfaction to me personally that the Directors of the Commonwealth Fund should have done me the honour Of recognising my work in this way and I am sure that it will also be a source of great satisfaction to all English lawyers that America should have helped in the production of a history of what is perhaps the most valuable part of our common heritage - our common law and equity. Legal history has always been a branch of learning which has owed very much to American scholar ship. By its students the names of such legal historians as Holmes and Wigmore and Pound, as Ames and Thayer, will always be honoured. I hope that readers Of these volumes will agree that the action of the Directors of the Commonwealth Fund and its Legal Research Committee has increased the debt which we English lawyers already owe to the lawyers of the United States.
