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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678187946272,"sku":"NEW0226055418","price":63.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/719nCUxEncL.jpg?v=1779306231","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/commentaries-on-the-laws-of-england-vol2-0226055418","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
