The common law is one of two major and successful systems of law
developed in Western Europe, and in one form or another is now in
force not only in the country of its origin but also in the United
States and large parts of the British Commonwealth and former parts
of the Empire. Perhaps its most typical product is English contract
law, developed continuously since the birth of the common law
almost wholly by judicial decision. Although in its modern form
primarily a product of the nineteenth century, the common law of
contract as we know it developed around the action of assumpsit
which evolved at the close of the fourteenth century, and many of
its characteristic doctrines first emerged in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. This book, which takes the story up to 1677
(the date of statute of frauds) forms the first part of the history
of contract law, and is written primarily from a doctrinal
standpoint.
