Zustand: as new. Oxford : Hart, 2019. 2nd edition. Paperback. lvii,721 pp. - Law and Society in England 1750-1950 is an indispensable text for those wishing to study English legal history and to understand the foundations of the modern British state. In this new updated edition the authors explore the complex relationship betwee…n legal and social change. They consider the ways in which those in power themselves imagined and initiated reform and the ways in which they were obliged to respond to demands for change from outside the legal and political classes. What emerges is a lively and critical account of the evolution of modern rights and expectations, and an engaging study of the formation of contemporary social, administrative and legal institutions and ideas, and the road that was travelled to create them. The book is divided into eight chapters: Institutions and Ideas; Land; Commerce and Industry; Labour Relations; The Family; Poverty and Education; Accidents; and Crime. This extensively referenced analysis of modern social and legal history will be invaluable to students and teachers of English law, political science, and social history. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781849462730. Keywords : RECHT, history of law.

ISBN-13: 9781584775645; ISBN-10: 1584775645. Probert, William, Translator. The Ancient Laws of Cambria: Containing the Institutional Triads of Dyvnwal Moelmud, the Laws of Howel the Good, Triadical Commentaries, Code of Education, and the Hunting Laws of Wales, to Which are Added, the Historical Triads of Britain. Originally pub…lished: London: Sold by E. Williams, 1823. iv, 414 pp. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775645. ISBN-10: 1584775645. Smythe sewn gilt stamped cloth bound hardcover. New. $110. * Inspired by the spirit of Romantic nationalism, Probert [1790-1870] published this fascinating compilation of ancient Welsh texts to "rouse the dormant spirit" of Cambria so it "may awake from the slumber of ages, shake off that darkness and false taste which Gothic barbarity and tyranny imposed upon her, and re-assume her ancient and splendid greatness" (Dedication). Its contents include the first English translation of the Laws of Howell the Good, which date to the ninth century and are considered by Probert to be the greatest intellectual achievement of medieval Wales. It also contains the first valuation of dogs in the British Isles. In addition to translations, Probert offers an intriguing argument that the trial by jury was not invented by Alfred the Great, but adopted from Dynvwal's Triads.
