'Commentaries on the Laws of England' is an incredibly influential work on the common low of the eighteenth century, an important treatise.

Volume I focuses on the rights of persons, Volume II on the rights of things, Volume III on private wrongs, and Volume IV on public wrongs.

This work played a role in the development of the American legal system.

Illustrated with a frontispiece to Volume I, and a folding genealogy to Volume II.

The fifteenth edition of this work, with notes and additions by Edward Christian.

One leaf of adverts to the rear of Volume IV.

Condition

Rebound in a modern cloth binding. Externally, smart. Spines are a touch faded. A few very minor marks to the boards and spines. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and generally clean with a few odd spots. Last two leaves of the appendix of Volume II have been repaired.
