Review
This book is a classic. Professor Simpson, who is one of the world's greatest legal historians, has comprehensively reserached the background to a number of leading cases in the common law. (International Trade and Business Law Journal)
his historical miniatures are valuable...Each historical interlude is well-reserached, sympathetic and well-written in Professor Simpson's laconic and ironic style. The volume is particularly recommended to beginning law students, to reassure them that the real world of the law is firmly placed in the real world of human passions and desires. (Ottawa Law Review)
A good-humoured and forgiving cynicism pervades his interpretation of the legal past. (The Cambridge Law Journal)
Leading Cases in the Common Law should be on the shelves of all academic, courthouse and large private law libraries, and in the personal collection of every lawyer who ever wondered about the nature of the law and what they do all day. Not only is this book informative and educational, it is also a good read...Professor Simpson has produced a most useful and welcome addition to a too often neglected area of legal scholarship. (Canadian Law Libraries)
Three of four of the ten pieces in this collection were published earlier, and some are already modern classics...These pieces show an astonishing erudition and breadth of historical knowledge, and will delight and instruct both specialists and general readers... This summary of the contents should justify any lover of the common law in reading the book... He is born story-teller, and often the case-law he selects seems only to be a pretext to tell the reader something interesting and amusing about the past...May we see many more books flow from Professor Simpson's wonderful and original pen. (Legal History)
