Critics Review
“This volume continues a multi-volume history of the common law in America by our greatest authority on the foundations of the American legal system. Like his other work, it is the product of unmatched meticulous research into the archival record of legal institutions as they affected the lives of ordinary Americans - male and female, white and black, powerful and weak. It is as much a human study as it is an institutional one, and it takes its well-earnedplace as a classic in legal history.” - David Thomas Konig, Professor of History and Professor of Law at Washington University in St. Louis
