This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769) stands as the first great effort to reduce the English common law to a unified and rational system. Blackstone demonstrated that the English law as a system of justice was comparable to Roman law and the civil law of the Continent. Clearly and elegantly written, the work achieved immediate renown and exerted a powerful influence on legal education in England and in America which was to last into the late nineteenth century. The book is regarded not only as a legal classic but as a literary masterpiece. Previously available only in an expensive hardcover set, Commentaries on the Laws of England is published here in four separate volumes, each one affordably priced in a paperback edition. These works are facsimiles of the eighteenth-century first edition and are undistorted by later interpolations. Each volume deals with a particular field of law and carries with it an introduction by a leading contemporary scholar. Introducing this second volume, Of the Rights of Things, A. W. Brian Simpson discusses the history of Blackstone's theory of various aspects of property rights—real property, feudalism, estates, titles, personal property, and contracts—and the work of his predecessors.

This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 1436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Download or read book A History of Law in Canada Volume One written by Philip Girard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Law in Canada is an important three-volume project. Volume One begins at a time just prior to European contact and continues to the 1860s, Volume Two covers the half century after Confederation, and Volume Three covers the period from the beginning of the First World War to 1982, with a postscript taking the account to approximately 2000. The history of law includes substantive law, legal institutions, legal actors, and legal culture. The authors assume that since 1500 there have been three legal systems in Canada – the Indigenous, the French, and the English. At all times, these systems have co-existed and interacted, with the relative power and influence of each being more or less dominant in different periods. The history of law cannot be treated in isolation, and this book examines law as a dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long term. The law guided and was guided by economic developments, was influenced and moulded by the nature and trajectory of political ideas and institutions, and variously exacerbated or mediated intercultural exchange and conflict. These themes are apparent in this examination, and through most areas of law including land settlement and tenure, and family, commercial, constitutional, and criminal law.

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.

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.
