Comprehensive collection of English crime and legal statutes, with historical notes

This volume is part of a ten-volume set that gathers statutes connected with the general administration of the law. It presents the laws in order of subject, with notes for context and interpretation, bringing the collection up to the year 10 Geo. IV. The book is a detailed reference for researchers, students, and practitioners who need historical law text and insight into how statutes were applied and organized.

Inside, you’ll find age‑old acts on offenses like larceny, robbery, and assault with intent to rob, along with provisions relating to the punishment, enforcement, and the evolution of the legal process. It also covers special topics such as the slave trade, pardons, and the administration of justice, all collated with the original statutes for clarity.

Historical statutes organized by subject for quick reference
Notes that illuminate the purpose and scope of each act
Texts brought down to the early 19th century (10 Geo. IV) for context
A resource for understanding how past laws shaped current legal frameworks
