'This volume offers much legal-historical scholarship of a high
order. The extended bibliographical essays that conclude the work
show the depth of learning underpinning the enterprise … This is a
volume that amply repays close reading and reflection, and at its
best escapes the bounds of a reference work and offers a powerful
historical vision.' Edinburgh Law Review

on the law in the US...The chapter authors, leading experts in
their fields, present lively, well-written pieces...Of great value
is each volume's long, comprehensive bibliographic essay, which is
over 120 pages in each book. A very good and enriching treatment of
the topics covered, as well as a good general survey.' Choice
