Excerpt from The Law of the Land, or London in the Last Century: A Drama in Three Acts
Has been no easy task. Our cause we trust, Ladies, to you, who're ever more than just. Give us a locus standi in your smiles, Favour from you each anxious fear beguiles And should your lords not think the verdict right, We'll move for a new trial every night.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines and analyzes England's laws as they existed in the 18th century, primarily as they applied to the lives and social habits of ordinary people. The author examines cases that came before the courts which involved ordinary citizens, arguing that a careful examination of these cases and how they were decided can give us a clear and comprehensive picture of the legal norms, social attitudes and moral assumptions that formed the fabric and texture of daily life in 18th-century England. The author argues that focusing on the legal cases of ordinary people can teach us far more about the actual operation and effect of the laws of the time than simply examining the statutes and legal codes on the books. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
