Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of the Law of Real Property: With Original Authorities
MY object in undertaking this work was to attempt in some degree to supply a want which at present greatly impedes the study of English law at the Universities. There is no really elementary work on the English law of real property adapted for the use of students who have not and may never have any practical experience in the working of the law. Almost all elementary books have been written from the professional rather than from the educational point of view; excellent as many of them are as introductions to a practical knowledge of law, they are scarcely available for purposes of legal education at an University. Blackstone''s treatise stands almost alone in adequately satisfying both demands. It has been the fashion of late to dwell on the defects rather than on the merits of that great work, and there are obvious reasons why it fails to satisfy the require ments of the present time. Nevertheless Blackstone still remains unrivalled as an expositor of the law of his day. Throughout the following pages his work is referred to as at once the most available, and the most trustworthy authority of the law of the eighteenth century.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an introduction to the historical development of English property law. The author traces the evolution of land rights from their Anglo-Saxon roots through the early Norman period. By examining original source materials such as Glanvill and Bracton, the book uncovers how the interplay between common and early statute law laid the foundation for the manorial system and the feudal incidents associated with it. It analyses the development of tenures, including freehold and leasehold interests, and explores the intricate legal principles governing the transfer of land. The book also considers the emergence of equitable interests in land, which were to become increasingly important in the later development of English real property law. Throughout the book, the author highlights the historical and legal factors that have shaped the principles and practices of English land law, providing a deep understanding of its origins and evolution.
