Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Book Description
Law: With Considerable Additions, by Henry Gwyllim. With the Addition of the Later English, and the American Decisions. Philadelphia: Farrand and Nicholas, 1811. Seven volumes. Reprint available April, 2005 by the Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-523-8. Cloth. $995. * First American edition, from the sixth London edition. Bacon's Abridgment is a digest of cases as well as a compilation of treatises written by Sir Jeffrey Gilbert and gathered by Bacon [fl. 1730] for the first edition published in London in 1736. However, Bacon lived long enough only to carry the work up to "Sheriff;" the remainder was added by the original English editors Joseph Sayer [fl. 1750] and Owen Ruffhead [1723-1769]. In frequent use by practitioners of the era, its importance is attested to by the many editions the work enjoyed. Its comprehensiveness and, still more, the logical system of subdivisions employed within each title, placed it far above all previous compendia of its kind, and made it, according to Marvin's Legal Bibliography (1847), "...quite a law library in itself" (85). This edition contains additions and notes by Bird Wilson [1777-1859], Pennsylvania jurist and son of James Wilson.
