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.

Download or read book The Commentaries on the Laws of England of Sir William Blackstone Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by William Blackstone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Commentaries on the Laws of England Volume 4 written by William Blackstone and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 515 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 fourth and final volume, Of Public Wrongs, Thomas A. Green examines Blackstone's attempt to rationalize the severity of the law with what he saw as the essentially humane inspiration of English law. Green discusses Blackstone's ideas on criminal law, criminal procedure, and sentencing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentaries on the Laws of England, Vol. 1: In Four Books; Together With Such Notes of Enduring Value as Have Been Published in the Several English Editions; Including Books I and II It is not our meaning that the student should read history with a view alone to the law, or that he should confine his investigations to the history of a single race: in this particular his culture cannot be too broad or too liberal; what we mean is, that to the lawyer English history possesses a value that renders its careful study quite indispensable, and that the student of law must pursue it as the beginning and foundation of his legal course if he aspires to respectable attainments. His particular and careful attention should be directed to the history of the English constitution as traced in the works of writers like Hallam and May; and from the speeches of Burke and Erskine, and other eminent statemen of modern times, as well as from some of the leading state trials, he will derive abundant illustration of a fiertinent and forcible character, that will tend to make more vivid and permanent the impression which the facts of the history leave upon the mind.(b) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
