English Common Law in the Age of Mansfield
In the eighteenth century, the English common law courts laid the foundation that continues to support present-day Anglo-American law. Lord Mansfield, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, 1756-1788, was the dominant judicial force behind these developments. In this abridgment of his two-volume book, The Mansfield Manuscripts and the Growth of English Law in the Eighteenth Century, James Oldham presents the fundamentals of the English common law during this period, with a detailed description of the operational features of the common law courts. This work includes revised and updated versions of the historical and analytical essays that introduced the case transcriptions in the original volumes, with each chapter focusing on a different aspect of the law. While considerable scholarship has been devoted to the eighteenth-century English criminal trial, little attention has been given to the civil side. This book helps to fill that gap, providing an understanding of the principal body of substantive law with which America's founding fathers would have been familiar. It is an invaluable reference for practicing lawyers, scholars, and students of Anglo-American legal history.
Lord Mansfield
In the first modern biography of Lord Mansfield (1705-1793), Norman Poser details the turbulent political life of eighteenth-century Britain's most powerful judge, serving as chief justice for an unprecedented thirty-two years. His legal decisions launched England on the path to abolishing slavery and the slave trade, modernized commercial law in ways that helped establish Britain as the world's leading industrial and trading nation, and his vigorous opposition to the American colonists stoked Revolutionary fires. Although his father and brother were Jacobite rebels loyal to the deposed King James II, Mansfield was able to rise through English society to become a member of its ruling aristoc...

Fanny Price, a poor relation, is brought up at the wealthy Bertrams' country house and fallls for Edmund, the younger son.

Mansfield
Mansfield was listed in Domesday Book as a royal estate, and was the administrative centre for much of northern Nottinghamshire. In the Middle Ages, it was the capital of Sherwood Forest, and its position made it an important trading centre. This book, however, primarily tells the story of Mansfield's later transformation into an industrial centre. In the 1780s the town helped set the pace of the Industrial Revolution, and it developed at an astonishing rate over the next 150 years. Art teacher A.S. Buxton recognised the effects of this constant change on the town's heritage and, from the 1890s to the 1920s, he recorded vanishing Mansfield scenes in paintings and with photography. A number of the paintings are well known, but many of the photographs are rarely seen. They reveal the dilapidated condition of many buildings that he recreated in his charming watercolours, and some show scenes he never painted, which have disappeared with continued development. This long awaited book can be dipped into, or read as a fascinating narrative, recounting Mansfield's history from the 11th century to 1945.
