This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Law, Vol. 1 The first volume was begun in 1901, and the second and third volumes were finished in 1909. From 1909 to 1921 I have been writing the history of the law from 1485 onwards. I have, therefore, been engaged upon this History of English Law for twenty years; and necessarily both the material available for the study of the subject and my own knowledge have, in the course of that time, increased considerably. For both these reasons it has become clear to me that the first volume in its original form is quite inadequate, and that the second and third volumes need revision to bring them up to date. It has also become clear to me, as the work on the later volumes progressed, that the earlier volumes need revision in order that the whole work may form a complete and co-ordinated whole. Therefore, simultaneously with my work on the later volumes, I have been en aged on the work of the revision and co-ordination of t e earlier volumes. The first volume is a new book; and the second and third have been considerably added to and altered. The result' is a continuous History of English Law as a whole down. To 1700, and, in respect to some parts of the subject, down to modern times. The mode of treatment appears from the Plan of the History which will be printed at the begin ning of each of the volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1895, Sir Frederick Pollock and Frederic William Maitland's legal classic The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I expanded the work of Sir Edward Coke and William Blackstone by exploring the origins of key aspects of English common law and society and with them the development of individual rights as these were gradually carved out from the authority of the Crown and the Church. Although it has been more than a century since its initial publication, Pollock and Maitland's work is still considered an accessible and useful foundational reference for scholars of medieval English law. Volume one begins with an examination of Anglo-Saxon law, goes on to consider the changes in law introduced by the Normans, then moves to the twelfth-century "Age of Glanvill," with the first great compilation of English laws and customs, followed by the thirteenth-century "Age of Bracton," author of another major treatise on the same subject. Volume two takes up different areas of English law topic by topic, or as its authors labeled it, "The Doctrines of English Law in the Early Middle Ages." They consider land tenure, marriage and wardship, fealty, the ranks of men both free and unfree, aliens, Jews, excommunicates, women, and the churches and the King, before turning to the various jurisdictions of that decentralized era. The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I helps readers explore the origins of English legal exceptionalism and through the English tradition the basis of the law of America, Canada, Australia, and other nations. This work is of interest to legal scholars, historians of the Middle Ages, political scientists, political philosophers, and all those interested in Anglo-Saxon law and early law and society.

Download or read book A History of English Law Vol 11 Classic Reprint written by Sir William Holdsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Law, Vol. 11 In the first and introductory volume, which contains Book I of this History, I have related the history of the Judicial System down to the passing of the Judicature Act in 1875. In the eight succeeding volumes, which contain Books II-IV, I have described the sources and influences which shaped the development of English law down to 1700, and I have related both the history of English public law during the same period, and also the history of the principal doctrines of English private law, in some cases to 1700 and in others down to the nineteenth century. These three succeeding volumes begin Book V, the last Book of this History, in which I propose to relate the history of English law from 1700 to 1875. They begin Part I of this Book, and they relate the history of public law, and of the sources and influences which shaped the development of English law, during the eighteenth century. If I continue to have sufficient health and leisure, I hope in a succeeding volume to complete Part I of this Book, and in Part II to complete the History in two more volumes by giving some account of the history of those doctrines of English law with which I have not fully dealt in the preceding volumes. It may be thought that I have dealt with the legal history of the eighteenth century at too great a length. But there are several reasons why I have found it necessary to fill three bulky volumes. In the first place, this is the first complete legal history of the eighteenth century which has ever been written. In the second place, to make that history intelligible it has been necessary to deal somewhat more fully than in the preceding periods with the political background.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A History of English Law Vol 9 Classic Reprint written by William Searle Holdsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Law, Vol. 9 These nine volumes contain a history of the sources and general development of English law down to 1700; and a history of the judicial system, and of very many of the principles and rules of the English common law, down to modern times. It is, therefore, not quite a complete history. There still remains to be related the history of the sources and general development of English law during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the history of substantive rules of equity, which became the definite system which we know to-day during those centuries the history of some parts of the common law - notably mercan tile law, maritime law, and the law of evidence - which then assumed their modern form; and the history of certain other branches of law - such as ecclesiastical law, prize law, and international law - which fall within the sphere of the civilian's practice. To complete the history as it ought to be completed will be a long task but I hope to be able to accomplish at least some part of it in the next few years; and I am the more encouraged to begin this final portion of my task by the manner in which these volumes have been received.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of English Legal History A year ago it became my duty as one of the Readers to the Council of Legal Education, to deliver, at short notice, a course of lectures on Royal Justice in this country. The information which had to be gathered from many books, some out of print, others of great price, few to be found except in great libraries, I now place at the disposal of those who take, at the least, a passing interest in the subject. Inaccuracies and inelegancies I am sure that I have not entirely avoided. If on some points I have spoken without certainty, it should be remembered that our information is not yet, and may never be, complete. On some topics, such as the Justices of the Forest and of the Jews, I have chosen to be silent and await the promised records of the Selden Society. I desire here to acknowledge my great debt to the Rolls Series, the Acts of the Privy Council, and the invaluable volumes of the Selden Society. To none of the learned editors of that Series do I owe more than to Professor Maitland, to whom all scholars must wish complete restoration to health, and whose unwearied energy has illumined so many dark places of the law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: Excerpt from The Commentaries on the Laws of England of Sir William Blackstone, Vol. 1 In the preparation of this Edition of Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries, the same rule has been followed as in the first revision of the Work by the present Editor. He has altered the text, where the text required or seemed to require alteration; but he has in no case omitted anything which could usefully be retained. He may have preserved much which is of antiquarian interest only; but, if so, this will, he hopes, be esteemed an error in the right direction. He can repeat confidently the statement he made in reference to his first attempt to adapt the Commentaries to the present state of the Law - that no trouble or labour has been wanting on his part to fulfil properly the responsible duty he has undertaken.

Though he has made no state ment which he has not verified from original evidence, he has, naturally, availed himself to the full of the work of previous writers for the earlier part of his task.
