Media Reviews
'The results speak for themselves: the papers collected here, ranging from the 12th to the 19th century, draw upon extensive new archival work, and will be of interest to a readership well beyond the ranks of the specialist legal historians … The inherent interest of the essays gathered here aside, scholars everywhere will be grateful to those among the contributors who have generously made sets of data available to others as appendices to their essays.' Hannes Kleineke, Parliamentary History
