An important book by a preeminent scholar of English legal historyUsing evidence drawn from the Year Books from 20 Edw. I to 20 Edw. III Plucknett analyzes the nature of early statutes as seen in the rules for their construction and their use in court. He shows that the early statutes were more legislative than declaratory, and were treated as such by the courts. 'This is an essay of absorbing interest and of great value to historians of the law. Every page shows not only immense industry, but sound learning.' --Law Quarterly Review 39:138-139Theodore F. T. Plucknett [1897-1965] was a Fellow of the British Academy, Professor of Legal History in the University of London and author of A Concise History of the Common Law (1929).CONTENTSGeneral Preface by H.D.
