A Sketch of English Legal History

In this work Professor Colby has gathered, annotated and arranged into a sequential history of English law numerous essays by Frederic William Maitland and Francis C. Montague. Each chapter includes a list of recommended readings. These articles supplied what long had been needed for general readers and for law students- a brief but comprehensive, accurate but un-technical account of the origin and growth of English law. ... this series of articles now forms the best available introduction to English legal history.
