Description

A Sketch of English Legal History, written by Frederic William Maitland and published in 1915, is a comprehensive examination of the legal system in England from its earliest origins to the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed overview of the development of English law, including the influence of Roman law, the role of the church, the emergence of the common law, and the impact of the Reformation and the Enlightenment. Maitland's work is highly regarded for its meticulous research and analysis, and its clear and engaging prose. He examines the various sources of law, including statutes, case law, and custom, and explores the evolution of legal institutions such as the courts, the legal profession, and the law of property. The book also considers the social and political context in which the law developed, including the impact of war, social unrest, and economic change. Maitland also explores the role of legal scholars and jurists in shaping the law, and the ways in which legal ideas and practices were transmitted across borders and through time. Overall, A Sketch of English Legal History is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of English law and its broader cultural and historical context. It offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the legal system that has played such a crucial role in shaping the social, political, and economic landscape of England and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
