"The Best Available Introduction to English Legal History" In this work Professor Colby has gathered, annotated and arranged into a sequential history of English law numerous essays by Frederic William Maitland and Francis C. Montague. Each chapter includes a list of recommended readings. These articles supplied what long had been needed for general readers and for law students-a brief but comprehensive, accurate but untechnical account of the origin and growth of English law. ... this series of articles now forms the best available introduction to English legal history. James F. Colby, iii Widely considered the father of legal history, Frederic William Maitland [1850-1906] was an English jurist and historian best known for the standard The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I, 2 vol. (1895), written with Sir Frederick Pollock. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge and studied at Lincoln's Inn, London. Maitland was called to the bar in 1876, then practiced until 1884 when he became a reader in English law (1884) and professor (1888) at Cambridge. He founded the Selden Society in 1887. Hailed for his original outlook on history, his works profoundly influenced legal scholarship. An extraordinarily productive career was shortened by his death from tuberculosis at age 45. Francis C. Montague [1858-1935] was a Professor of History at University College, London and Lecturer in Modern History, Oriel College, Oxford. He was also the author of The History of England from the Accession of James I. to the Restoration (1907) and The Elements of English Constitutional History from the Earliest Times to the Present Day (1910). James F. Colby [1850-1939] taught international law at Yale Law School from 1883 until 1885. He later taught history and political economics at Dartmouth College, and was Parker Professor of Law and Political Science at Dartmouth College from 1885-1916 and lectured in jurisprudence and international law at Boston University Law School from 1905-1922.

Excerpt from Outlines of English Legal History A year ago it became my duty as one of the Readers to the Council of Legal Education, to deliver, at short notice, a course of lectures on Royal Justice in this country. The information which had to be gathered from many books, some out of print, others of great price, few to be found except in great libraries, I now place at the disposal of those who take, at the least, a passing interest in the subject. Inaccuracies and inelegancies I am sure that I have not entirely avoided. If on some points I have spoken without certainty, it should be remembered that our information is not yet, and may never be, complete. On some topics, such as the Justices of the Forest and of the Jews, I have chosen to be silent and await the promised records of the Selden Society. I desire here to acknowledge my great debt to the Rolls Series, the Acts of the Privy Council, and the invaluable volumes of the Selden Society. To none of the learned editors of that Series do I owe more than to Professor Maitland, to whom all scholars must wish complete restoration to health, and whose unwearied energy has illumined so many dark places of the law.

Excerpt from Outlines of Legal History A complete history of the English Law has yet to be written. Such a work would fill more than one ponderous volume, and would be beyond the reach of many who may find in the short sketch contained in these pages some help in getting an elementary knowledge of Legal History. Among the compulsory subjects for the Bar Final Examination Legal History is now included. From India and the Colonies comes a large and ever increasing number of students to the Inns of Court. For them it is especially difficult to become acquainted with the history of the Law which they come to study. With a clear knowledge upon this subject it would be easier for them to understand the lectures they attend and the books they read. In legal examinations at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and elsewhere a knowledge of Legal History is always of great value. There is not, however, any special book upon this subject. In attempting to supply the want which my experience in preparing pupils for legal examinations has convinced me exists, I have followed a method of exposition which I have always found most intelligible to my pupils.

From the PREFACE. A complete history of the English Law has yet to be written. Such a work would fill more than one ponderous volume, and would be beyond the reach of many who may find in the short sketch contained in these pages some help in getting an elementary knowledge of Legal History. Among the compulsory subjects for the Bar Final Examination Legal History is now included. From India and the Colonies comes a large and ever increasing number of students to the Inns of Court. For them it is especially difficult to become acquainted with the history of the Law which they come to study. With a clear knowledge upon this subject it would be easier for them to understand the lectures they attend and the books they read. In legal examinations at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and elsewhere a knowledge of Legal History is always of great value. There is not, however, any special book upon this subject. In attempting to supply the want which my experience in preparing pupils for legal examinations has convinced me exists, I have followed a method of exposition which I have always found most intelligible to my pupils. First, I briefly describe the outlines of the judicial system of the present day, so that the general knowledge of the everyday legal life which is acquired partly by conversation and partly through newspapers and other desultory reading may become accurate and clear. The student will thus have acquired a settled and clear basis of knowledge from which to work and upon which he can build. He will then learn how the present state of things came to exist, the origin and evolution of the Courts. Next in order he will find the history of the lesser Courts dealt with, and obsolete Courts which once were of great importance described....
