The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, Or, a Commentary upon Littleton: Not the Name of the Author Only, but of the Law Itself - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Coke's Institutes are thought to be the first textbooks on the modern common law. Taken together they are a virtual legal encyclopedia of the law as it stood in Coke's lifetime. The first Institutes, better known as Coke on Littleton, contains the text of Sir Thomas Littleton's Tenures with extensive commentary. First published in 1628, it was a standard work for decades and was often used as a textbook. This reprint of the eighteenth edition is among the editions that is considered preferable to other editions due to the convenient reference to notes and the thorough index. 2 Vols. ccxvi, [620]; [vi], [772] pp., retaining pagination of thirteenth edition. Table of consanguinity in Vol. 1.
