(Published under the name of "Placita Anglo-Normannica.") By A^ELViLLE M. BiGELOW, Doctor of Philosophy in Harvard Univer- sity. This volume of the earliest English law-reports extant opens with an elaborate introduction, setting forth the chief features of the book, and presenting a general view of the procedure of the courts of England from the time of the Norman Conquest to the end of the twelftli century. The following are some of the notices of the press : — " The author has included in this book almost every important record throwing light on the litigation and legal procedure of the temporal courts during the period from the Norman Conquest to the middle of the reign of Richard I., and his learned introduction much enhances the value of the collection. . . . Mr. Bigelow's learning throws a new light on the origin of actions on the case." — AtJienmun (London), July jg. " In an able and lucid introduction, Mr. Bigelow points out the gradual process of modification which the Saxon system of law underwent during the two cen- turies succeeding the Norman Conquest; how slowly the characteristic features of that system were abandoned, and how the old and new methods were finally amalgamated in the procedure of the thirteenth century. — Academy (London), Sept. 27. " Obviously the thing could not have been done, save by an editor who com- bined the technical knowledge of an English lawyer with the tastes and aptitudes of an historian." — Saturday Kevicw (London). "The historical study of law, which has received so strong an impetus of late, in this country no less than in England, has borne worthy fruit, as well as provided itself with a store of valuable material, in Mr. Bigelow's collection of law-cases of the Anglo-Norman i)erlod. ... It will be seen, that, although the interest of the book is principally legal, it has at the same time great value for the student of constitutional and general history." — Nation (New York).
