The Law-Dictionary: Explaining The Rise, Progress, And Present State, Of The English Law: Defining And Interpreting The Terms Or Words Of Art; And Comprising Copious Information On The Subjects Of Law, Trade, And Government by Giles Jacob is a lexicon-style reference to terms beginning with F. It presents concise definitions, historical notes, and cross-references within a framework of medieval to early modern English law. This Part 1 covers FACTOR (merchant’s agent abroad) and related duties; FACTUM, FACULTY; FAIR and tolls; FEODAL concepts, FEODUM, FEODARY, FEODARIES; FEFFMENT (feoffment) and the elements of tenure, along with the distinction between livery in view and actual delivery. It also surveys FINE OF LANDS in conveyancing, FEALTY (oath of loyalty), and FELONY (and its clergy-attachment and punishment). The entries are heavily cross-referenced to covenant, recovery, attainder, dower, and uses, and rely on statutes and authorities such as Coke, Plowden, and Cruise to illustrate the law as it stood. The work frames guardianship, infancy, and Habeas Corpus within a broad survey of English legal doctrine.
