Download or read book Commentaries on the Laws of England, Volume 2 written by William Blackstone and published by University of Chicago Press. 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.

Download or read book The History of English Law: Volume 2 written by Sir Frederick Pollock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1968-10-01 with total page 708 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.

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.

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 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.

Excerpt: ... of law, is stated in abstract terms. We have above set forth the notable judgment in which Edward I.'s court inferred that adultery had been committed and gave its reasons for refusing to send the question to a jury1. One other example must suffice: ' And for that Ralph [the would-be lord who is claiming Thomas as his villein] has avowed his writ and his count and has produced as suit but one male and two women, and for that the said women are not to be admitted to proof because of their frailty, and also because a male, who is a worthier person than females, is being claimed, therefore it is considered that the said Thomas and his heirs do go hence quit and free of the said [p. 609] Ralph and his heirs for ever, and that Ralph be in mercy3.' We may regret that such recitals are not found upon the rolls of a later day: the Year Books hardly supply their place*. Caution of The justices of Edward I.'s time seem to have been cautious e ju es. men. jhey were exceedingly unwilling to decide nice points of law. When in turning over their records we come upon a case which raises a pretty question, our hopes are too often dashed by a Concordati sunt, which tells us that the parties after all their pleadings have made a compromise. Bracton advises the justices of assize to induce the litigants to make peace if the jurors can not give a clear and decisive verdict*. The king's court knew that to lay down a new rule was no light matter, though it could not know that it was fashioning law for many centuries and for many lands. Last That we have written at wearisome length of one short, oras- period of legal history, this is an accusation that we could not 'defend' with a thwert-ut-nay, while an attempt to confess and avoid it might aggravate our..

Excerpt: ...(attornat) the tenant to the new lord, or attorns the service and homage to the new lord. " Bracton, f. 81 b-82 b. See also Y. B. 32-3 Edw. I. p. 43. ' BractoD, f. 80 b, 81 b, 382, 5. However if the lord was so poor that he was unable to warrant the tenant, he was allowed to disclaim the seignory and the tenant then held of the next lord in the ascending scale; Note Book, pi. 563, 674. 4 In 1130 B. de C. fined to the king ' ut Symon de Belcampo dominas sans lion daret servitium snum nisi concessu suo'; Pipe Boll, 31 Hen. I. p. 62. reason to suppose that the tenant would object to recognising a new lord, then a fine would be levied, and the tenant would be called on by a writ known as Per quae servitia to show cause why he should not be attorned1. Fines transferring services are quite common; the subject-matter of the transfer is usually described as the service, or the homage and service of such an one2. It would be a great mistake to suppose that the elaborate and lofty feudal ladders that we find existing in the thirteenth century, had been always, or even generally, constructed by the process of adding new rungs at their nether end; new rungs were constantly inserted in their middles. 10. Aids. Dntyof The duties implied in the relation between man and lord are but slowly developed and made legal duties. There long remains a fringe of vague obligations. The man should come to the aid of the lord in all his necessities; the man's purse as well as his body should be at his lord's disposal if the lord be in a strait. Gradually the occasions on which an aid of money may be demanded are determined. Glanvill mentions the aid which helps a lord to pay the relief due to his overlord, the aid for knighting the lord's eldest son and...
