The Best Edition of this Classic History: A Comprehensive Legal
History of England from the Anglo-Saxon Period through the 19th
Century. Theodore Frank Thomas Plucknett 1897-1965] received his
LL.B. from the University of Cambridge in 1920. He was a Fellow of
the British Academy, Professor of Legal History, University of
London, and Assistant Professor of Legal History at Harvard
University. He was also the author of Early English Legal
Literature (1958) and Edward I and Criminal Law (1960). "Professor
Plucknett has such a solid reputation on both sides of the Atlantic
that one expects from his pen only what is scholarly and
accurate... Nor is the expectation likely to be disappointed in
this book. Plucknett's book is not...a mere epitome of what is to
be found elsewhere. He has explored on his own account many regions
of legal history and, even where the ground has been already
quartered, he has fresh methods of mapping it. The title which he
has chosen is, in view of the contents of the volume, rather a
narrow one. It might equally well have been A Concise History of
English Law... In conjunction with Readings on the History and
System of the Common Law by Dean Pound...this book will give an
excellent grounding to the student of English legal history."
--Percy H. Winfield. Harvard Law Review 43 (1929-30) 339-340. "
T]his book, comprehensive yet not elementary, clear yet inviting
further study on the part of the reader, remains an excellent
introduction to legal history and the study of law."-- Harvard Law
Review 50 (1937-38) 1012. SELECTED CONTENTS BOOK ONE A General
Survey of Legal History Part I The Crown and the State Part II The
Courts and the Profession Part III Some Factors in Legal History
