"A synthetic essay of considerable grace and scope... An excellent
overview of the field." -- Journal of Legal History, reviewing a
previous edition or volume
"Outlines the main features of English law and legal institutions,
describes their transmission to New England and Virginia, and
argues for the emergence of 'an American way of law, a style of
keeping order and resovling disputes' that was more open and less
formalistic than that of England... Legal and Social Historians
will applaud the appearance of this synthesis, and, in a decade's
time, will demand a revised edition." -- Journal of American
History, reviewing a previous edition or volume
