This definitive printing is based on the landmark twelfth edition edited by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., retaining all of his extensive notes alongside new annotations by John M. Gould. James Kent's Commentaries is widely considered the single most important treatise on early American law. Writing in 1847, Marvin ranked it above Blackstone's "Commentaries," observing that it contains "not only a clear statement of the English law, with all the alterations that have taken place since the time of Blackstone, but a full account of the main principles of Equity, also, a review of the modifications engrafted on the English law by the different states of the Union." Published during a transitional era when there was significant post-Revolutionary hostility toward English common law, Kent's text successfully harmonized and naturalized English legal principles for an American framework, deeply shaping the jurisprudence of the young republic.
