This popular book was first published in 1753. (The first edition by Richardson, the fourth, was published in 1822.) According to Marvin, "'As a manual, this little book contains more law and more useful matter, than any one book of the same size which can be put into the hands of the student.' It is more extensive than Noy's Maxims, and 'draws so copiously from the common law reports and writers of the age of Elizabeth, and since that time, that it may be regarded as the accumulated spirit and wisdom of the great body of the English law.'" Marvin's first quote is from Preston on Abstracts, the second from Kent's Commentaries on American Law. James Barratt [d.1869] of Lymm Hall, Cheshire, and later of Carleton Hall, Cumberland, was a landowner and solicitor. Better known for his interest in landscape architecture, he commissioned leading landscape architect Edward Kemp to design his rose garden at Lymm. Marvin, Legal Bibliography 143. …
