Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of law, tracing its evolution from ancient custom to a complex system of rules and principles that govern modern society. The author takes us on a journey through the history of English common law, exploring its origins in Anglo-Saxon traditions, its development through judicial decisions, and the rise of equity as a means of tempering the rigidity of the common law. The book also examines the interplay between law and morality, acknowledging that while law aims to regulate external relations, morality seeks to perfect individual character. The author thoughtfully explores the inevitable tension between legal rules, which often operate mechanically, and the dynamic nature of individual ethical judgments.
