"The ornament of the Common Law." Lyttleton, His Treatise of
Tenures, in French and English. A New Edition, Printed From the
Most Ancient Copies, And Collated With the Various Readings of the
Cambridge MSS. To Which Are Added The Ancient Treatise of the Olde
Tenures, And the Customs of Kent. Originally published: London: S.
Sweet, 1841. lv, 1], 727 pp. Hardcover. New.
With index. Parallel text in Law-French and English. Written during
the reign of Edward IV 1442-1483], Littleton's Tenures was much
admired for its learning and style. It is concerned with the
doctrines of old English Common Law regarding the tenures of real
estate as well as issues related to real property. This venerable
work, which Coke called "the ornament of the Common Law, and the
most perfect and absolute work that ever was written in any humane
science," is a considered a landmark because it renounced the
principles of Roman law in favor of a set of guidelines and
doctrines drawn from the Year Books, and when necessary,
hypothetical cases.
Sir Thomas Littleton 1402-1481] was a King's Serjeant, Judge of
Assize and Justice of the Common Pleas.
T.E. Tomlins 1804-1872] was a notable legal writer and antiquarian.
His is best known for his Popular-Law Dictionary (1838). (He is
confused sometime with his uncle, Sir Thomas Edlyne Tomlins, the
prolific legal writer and editor of the later editions of Jacob's
Law-Dictionary.)
