Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England
(1765-1769) stands as the first great effort to reduce the English
common law to a unified and rational system. Blackstone
demonstrated that the English law as a system of justice was
comparable to Roman law and the civil law of the Continent. Clearly
and elegantly written, the work achieved immediate renown and
exerted a powerful influence on legal education in England and in
America which was to last into the late nineteenth century. The
book is regarded not only as a legal classic but as a literary
masterpiece.
Previously available only in an expensive hardcover set,
Commentaries on the Laws of England is published here in four
separate volumes, each one affordably priced in a paperback
edition. These works are facsimiles of the eighteenth-century first
edition and are undistorted by later interpolations. Each volume
deals with a particular field of law and carries with it an
introduction by a leading contemporary scholar.
Introducing this second volume, "Of the Rights of Things," A. W.
Brian Simpson discusses the history of Blackstone's theory of
various aspects of property rights--real property, feudalism,
estates, titles, personal property, and contracts--and the work of
his predecessors.
