As always during its long history, English common law, upon which
American law is based, has had to defend itself against the
challenge of civil law's clarity and traditions. That challenge to
our common law heritage remains today. To that end, Liberty Fund
now makes available a clear and candid discussion of common law. "A
Concise History of the Common Law" provides a source for common-law
understanding of individual rights, not in theory only, but
protected through the confusing and messy evolution of courts, and
their administration as they struggled to resolve real problems.
Plucknett's seminal work is intended to convey a sense of
historical development - not to serve merely as a work of
reference. The first half of the book is a historical introduction
to the study of law. Plucknett discusses the conditions in
political, economic, social, and religious thought that have
contributed to the genesis of law. This section is a brief but
astoundingly full introduction to the study of law. The second half
of the book consists of chapters introducing the reader to the
history of some of the main divisions of law, such as criminal,
tort, property, contract, and succession. These topics are treated
with careful exposition so that the book will be of interest to
those just embarking on their quest in legal history while still
providing enough substantial information, references, and footnotes
to make it meaningful for the well-versed legal history reader.
