Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Commentaries on the Laws of England, Vol. 1: In Four Books; Together With Such Notes of Enduring Value as Have Been Published in the Several English Editions; Including Books I and II

It is not our meaning that the student should read history with a view alone to the law, or that he should confine his investigations to the history of a single race: in this particular his culture cannot be too broad or too liberal; what we mean is, that to the lawyer English history possesses a value that renders its careful study quite indispensable, and that the student of law must pursue it as the beginning and foundation of his legal course if he aspires to respectable attainments. His particular and careful attention should be directed to the history of the English constitution as traced in the works of writers like Hallam and May; and from the speeches of Burke and Erskine, and other eminent statemen of modern times, as well as from some of the leading state trials, he will derive abundant illustration of a fiertinent and forcible character, that will tend to make more vivid and permanent the impression which the facts of the history leave upon the mind.(b)
