Hammond, a barrister and legal reformer, was commissioned by Parliament, under the sponsorship of Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel [1788-1850], to propose a code of English criminal law. Between 1823 and 1829 he produced a series of six codes under the general title The Criminal Code. Although they weren't adopted, they formed the basis of Peel's Acts, the first substantial reform of English criminal law. In turn, Peel's Acts paved the way for the Criminal Law Consolidation Acts 1861. Printed in limited numbers for Parliament, the courts and select members of the legal community, copies of these codes are scarce today. OCLC locates 4 copies of the volumes offered here in North American law libraries (Columbia, Harvard, Social Law, UC-Berkeley).
