EPUB
Description
Oxford's variorum edition of William Blackstone's seminal treatise on the common law of England and Wales offers the definitive account of the Commentaries' development in a modern format.
For the first time it is possible to trace the evolution of English law and Blackstone's thought through the eight editions of Blackstone's lifetime, and the authorial corrections of the posthumous ninth edition.
Introductions by the general editor and the volume editors set theCommentaries in their historical context, examining Blackstone's distinctive view of the common law, and editorial notes throughout the four volumes assist the modern reader in understanding this key text in the Anglo-American common law tradition. Entitled Of Private Wrongs, Book III can be divided into three principal parts.
The first describes the multiple courts in England and their jurisdictions, including the wrongs cognizable in each of them.
The second describes some aspects of the substantive common law: wrongs to persons and to personal and real property.
The third describes the processes of litigation in the courts of common law and equity.
