Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Crime in England, Vol. 1: Illustrating the Changes of the Laws in the Progress of Civilisation; From the Roman Invasion to the Accession of Henry VII Sir Matthew Hale, one of the many great lawyers who have shown an ardent love of history, and who have earnestly laboured to discover historical truth, bequeathed his manuscripts to the Honourable Society of Lincoln´s Inn. I was not fully acquainted with the extent and value of his collection until I had drawn out the plan of the present work, and brought together the greater part of my materials. Fortunately, however, I ascertained, before I began to write, that there are in the Hale MSS. a considerable number of references to records, with abstracts conveniently placed under various heads, which have a direct bearing upon the History of Crime. According to the terms of Hale´s will, not even a member of Lincoln´s Inn is permitted to consult the MSS. without express permission, and for that permission I have to offer the Benchers my best thanks. Some of Hale´s references and abstracts are taken, word for word, from ancient calendars formerly in the Tower of London; others are apparently the result of independent research among the records themselves; but in every instance in which I have made use of the collection I have also consulted the original document.
