Lawyers and the Making of English Land Law, 1832-1940
In this book Stuart Anderson offers a completely fresh interpretation of the manner in which the concepts found in the 1925 property legislation were formed by debates about law reform beginning in the 1840s.

Partly a work of modern legal history, partly a commentary on modern English land law, this book should be read by all modern legal historians, property lawyers, and historians concerned with the relationship between property, politics, and the professions.
Pharmacopoeias, Drug Regulation, and Empires
The word "pharmacopoeia" has come to have many meanings, although it is commonly understood to be a book describing approved compositions and standards for drugs. In 1813 the Royal College of Physicians of London considered a proposal to develop an imperial British pharmacopoeia – at a time when separate official pharmacopoeias existed for England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Pharmacopoeias, Drug Regulation, and Empires traces the 350-year development of officially sanctioned pharmacopoeias across the British Empire, first from local to national pharmacopoeias, and later to a stan...
