Early English Legal Literature

Omtale

The six chapters of this book were commissioned in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederic William Maitland (1850–1906). In his preface, T. F. T. Plucknett observes that the theme of his lectures was 'to learn from Maitland's writings, not merely the results which he acquired but the method and inspiration of his work'.
