Abstract
"Here, individual essays treat Blackstone's early architectural treatises and their relationship to his 'Commentaries', his idiosyncratic book collecting and his views of the role of judges, interpretation of statutes, the law of marriage, the status of wives, natural law, property law and the legalities of colonization." - Voila
