Synopsis

The Principles Of The Law Of Real Property According To The Text Of Blackstone: Incorporating The Alterations Down To The Present Time by James Stewart. The book presents a nineteenth-century edition and adaptation of Blackstone’s foundational treatise on real property law, reorganized and updated to reflect the modern English legal framework of its time (circa 1837). It divides the subject into four main books that cover the nature of real property, the manner in which it may be held, the estates in real property, and the title to real property, including descent, purchase, occupancy, prescription, forfeiture, and alienation. The author surveys corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments, uses and trusts, tenures (including copyhold and ancient demesne), and the Statute of Uses, while also explaining the replacement of traditional devices like fines and recoveries with newer conveyancing mechanisms such as lease and release. Appendices illustrate modern feoffment to uses to bar dower and mortgage instruments. The work serves as a practical reference for students and practitioners seeking a comprehensive, objective synthesis of real-property doctrine in the present era.
