Frederick William Maitland (1850-1906) is generally regarded as the
modern father of English legal history. In this volume, which was
originally published in 1898, Maitland discusses the development of
English towns, and the concurrent transition from rural to urban
habits which occurred amongst the townspeople. The text was
produced as the companion volume to The Ford Lectures, which were
given by Maitland during 1897. Consummately researched, it is
distinguished by the thorough and sensitive use of primary sources
which is characteristic of Maitland's work, a sensitivity that is
combined with a lively and engaging written style. This is a
fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest
in legal history and the process of urbanisation.
