Abstract
V.1 Introduction -- v. 2 English law and the Renaissance, the courts, the practical working of the law, the intellectual life of the law, pleading and litigation as sources of law, law reporting, the law of property, actions on the case for wrongs, the establishment of 'Assumpsit' for nonfeasance, pleas of the crown.
"As a consequence of the decision to publish Spelman's text in something like its original form, this second volume is of an ancillary nature and contains nothing from Spelman's own hand. The principal departure from tradition has been the separate publication of record material. For this there are good reasons, quite apart from the presentation of an uninterrupted text in the first volume..." - Preface
