Fortescue's dialogue in praise of the laws of England, written for
the instruction of Henry VI's son, is one of the essential sources
for English legal history, and has always been renowned among
lawyers for its lucidity of style and for the unique account it
gives of the workings of contemporary English law. In addition,
Fortescue's practical experience, and the leisure that he has in
exile to read and reflect upon political questions, made him both
an original politician thinker and a statesman who could suggest
practical reforms. This 1949 edition provides a Latin text derived
directly from the earliest MSS, a translation avoiding assumptions
from later history, and critical annotation often based on original
research.
