A comprehensive account of English legal thought in the age of
Blackstone and Bentham for nearly a century, The Province of
Legislation Determined advances an ambitious reinterpretation of
eighteenth-century attitudes to social change and law reform.
Professor Lieberman's bold synthesis rests on a wide survey of
legal materials and on a detailed discussion of Blackstone's
Commentaries, the jurisprudence of Lord Kames and the Scottish
Enlightenment, the chief justiceship of Lord Mansfield, the penal
theories of Eden and Romilly, and the legislative science of Jeremy
Bentham. The study relates legal developments to the broader fabric
of eighteenth-century social and political theory, and offers a
novel assessment of the character of the common law tradition and
of Bentham's contribution to the ideology of reform.
