First published in 1894, The Brehon Laws is Laurence Ginnell’s handbook for the history of the Irish legal system. Opening with the history of Saxon law and detailing the first written legal recordings, Ginnell enthusiastically informs the reader about the survival of Brehon law from the seventh century through to the seventeenth century when English common law took favour.

    - Legislative Assemblies
    - Classification of Society
    - The Law of Distraining
