From the Publisher
Law books have human appeal because of what they contain and what they represent in the history of society; because of their place in English literature; because they are impressive historical and biographical documents; and because of the vicissitudes through which some of the great books have passed. The great classes of law books and the men associated with them are sketched in this work: statutory law; law reports; digests; dictionaries; institutional works; and monographs. Problems with law book publications are discussed. All those interested in the genesis of law book history and development will be intrigued by this work.
