As new. $150. * Originally conceived as an essential companion to Pollock and Maitland's monumental 'History of English Law', this foundational compilation serves as a vital academic bridge tracing how medieval English common law evolved into modern American jurisprudence. Compiled under the direction of legendary legal scholar John Henry Wigmore and his colleagues, the work preserves 76 seminal essays spanning some 2,500 pages-efficiently consolidating critical scholarship that was previously scattered across rare and fragile nineteenth-century periodicals. Highlighting its enduring value, the Harvard Law Review noted at the time of its original 1907 publication: "No one can fail to be impressed with the deep research, the deliberate construction, and the substantial worth of these essays." An exceptional, fresh set of a scarce legal reference.
