Renowned for his lucid prose, Archbold was a distinguished and prolific author on several legal topics. Highly regarded, Marvin expressed a common opinion when he wrote that "Mr. Archbold has no superior as a writer of practical works, whether we regard their number or utility, and but one equal, Mr. Chitty."
