Pulton was the leading authority on criminal law during the Elizabethan era, a status confirmed in 1609 with his great De Pace Regis et Regni, in large part based on the Abstract. As a Catholic, he was not allowed to practice and devoted his energies to editing the statutes. First published in 1560, this abridgment established Pulton's reputation and went through nine editions. Holdsworth, A History of English Law V:39. English Short-Title Catalogue S4263.
