First published in 1711, Blackerby's book went through eight subsequent editions, the final one in 1749. Arranged alphabetically, it treats the statutes that give authority to justices. Each is briefly summarized in one column; the penalty for its breach is stated in a parallel column. According to Holdsworth, "the book had many of the qualities of an index, and it was so used, Burn said, by writers of larger books on this topic." (Burn was the author of the magisterial Justice of the Peace and Parish Officer, first published in 1755 and long a standard work.) Nathaniel Blackerby, the author's son, produced the table for this edition. He edited the final four editions after his father's death. The signature to the title-page appears to be "J Willard", and may indicate the book was owned by the notable American judge and bibliophile John Willard (1792-1862). He was a justice of the Supreme Court of New York, and served also as a state senator in the New York State Senate. Holdsworth, A History of English Law XII:334.

Designed for practical use both in and out of the "Sessions of the Peace," the work proved so indispensable that it went through eight subsequent editions, the last one in 1749.
