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 1 Classic Reprint written by William Searle Holdsworth and published by Forgotten Books. 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: 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.

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.

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.

Methuen 8: Co.'s original be realized; and he ventured to approach them with a sugges tion for a revival of the plan. It was, of course, obviously due to Dr. Holdsworth that his concurrence should also be obtained. In both quarters the response was prompt and cordial; and Dr. Holdsworth, with great generosity, further offered to read the proof sheets of the intended work, and give the author the benefit of his criticism.

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.

Download or read book The History of English Law Volume 1 written by Frederick Pollock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1969-03-02 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although this book was envisaged as a joint venture and bears the name of both Pollock and Maitland, it is substantially the work of Maitland. It was recognised at once as a masterpiece and has since been accepted as one of the great histories in the English language. In Maitland's lifetime Acton pronounced him the ablest historian in England. Plucknett said that 'everything he wrote exercises a deep fascination and a personal attraction'. To Sir Maurice Powicke he was 'one of the immortals'. Lord Annan, in the preface to his Leslie Stephen, called him 'perhaps the greatest of all professional historians'. To read The History of English Law, even many years after Maitland's death, is to feel at once the touch of a master. That touch could only be weakened by editing, so the present issue is a reprint of the second edition but with an introductory essay and a select bibliography by S. F. C. Milsom, Professor of Legal History in the University of London.
