With a life of the author. Gilbert's was the first treatise devoted exclusively to the subject. An instant classic, and highly esteemed by Blackstone, who cites and recommends it in his Commentaries, it was the standard treatise on this topic into the nineteenth century. It remains an authority today. The text was first published in Dublin in 1754 by the enterprising Sarah Cotter, who was aware that the work had been circulating through the legal world as manuscript copies for some twenty years. Lofft was the first to produce an enlarged edition, which is based on Gilbert's manuscript notes. It expanded the work by two volumes. Lofft wasn't able to complete Volume IV; it was completed by an anonymous editor. Sweet & Maxwell, A Legal Bibliography of the British Commonwealth 1:379. Dublin, 1795-1797. 4 vols. in 2 books.
