SynopsisFirst published in 1895, Sir Frederick Pollock and Frederic William Maitland's legal classic The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I expanded the work of Sir Edward Coke and William Blackstone by exploring the origins of key aspects of English common law and society and with them the development of individual rights as these were gradually carved out from the authority of the Crown and the Church. Although it has been more than a century since its initial publication, Pollock and Maitland's work is still considered an accessible and useful foundational reference for scholars of medieval English law. Volume one begins with an examination of Anglo-Saxon law, goes on to consider the changes in law introduced by the Normans, then moves to the twelfth-century "Age of Glanvill," with the first great compilation of English laws and customs, followed by the thirteenth-century "Age of Bracton," author of another major treatise on the same subject. Volume two takes up different areas of English law topic by topic, or as its authors labeled it, "The Doctrines of English Law in the Early Middle Ages." They consider land tenure, marriage and wardship, fealty, the ranks of men both free and unfree, aliens, Jews, excommunicates, women, and the churches and the King, before turning to the various jurisdictions of that decentralized era. The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I helps readers explore the origins of English legal exceptionalism and through the English tradition the basis of the law of America, Canada, Australia, and other nations. This work is of interest to legal scholars, historians of the Middle Ages, political scientists, political philosophers, and all those interested in Anglo-Saxon law and early law and society.

This work is of interest to legal scholars, historians of the Middle Ages, political scientists, political philosophers, and all those interested in Anglo-Saxon law and early law and society., Isha Judd has taught thousands of people a simple system that shows us how to find love consciousness , where every moment of our lives — even the most challenging and frustrating — can be filled with love, joy, peace, and self-acceptance. Love Has Wings begins by examining the most common fear-based illusions that we cling to, such as "There Is Not Enough" or "Comfort Is King." Once we become aware that these beliefs are illusions, we can take steps to diminish their negative effects. The book gives us direct ways to remedy three aspects of life that people often bemoan: the daily grind, insecurity and loneliness, and the uncertainly of a world in crisis. For anyone caught in the storms of modern life — whether they rage inside or out — Isha's brilliant perspective on life, love, and success is the perfect medicine.
