Oxford's variorum edition of William Blackstone's seminal treatise
on the common law of England and Wales offers the definitive
account of the Commentaries' development in a modern format. For
the first time it is possible to trace the evolution of English law
and Blackstone's thought through the eight editions of Blackstone's
lifetime, and the authorial corrections of the posthumous ninth
edition. Introductions by the general editor and the volume editors
set the Commentaries in their historical context, examining
Blackstone's distinctive view of the common law, and editorial
notes throughout the four volumes assist the modern reader in
understanding this key text in the Anglo-American common law
tradition. Property law is the subject of Book II, the second and
longest volume of Blackstone's Commentaries. His lucid exposition
covers feudalism and its history, real estate and the forms of
tenure that a land-owner may have, and personal property, including
the new kinds of intangible property that were developing in
Blackstone's era, such as negotiable instruments and intellectual
property.
