Download or read book A Compendious and Comprehensive Law Dictionary written by Thomas Walter Williams and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of the only edition of an uncommon dictionary. One of several English dictionaries published in the early nineteenth century, Williams' dictionary is notable for its physical size and broad scope. Williams noted that his aim was to include more words and shorter definitions by omitting the extraneous detail that distinguished the work of his predecessors (and, presumably, his competitors). Williams [1763-1833] was a barrister of the Inner Temple and was called to the bar, but he didn't have success as a pleader. He was known instead for his writings. In addition to his dictionary, he wrote manuals justices of the peace, compiled abridgments and digests and edited an edition of William Sheppard's The Precedent of Precedents.
