A team of leading international historians explore the ways in which legal concerns and procedures came to permeate society and reflect on eighteenth-century concepts of corruption, oppression, and institutional efficiency. These themes are pursued throughout in a broad range of contributions which include studies of magistrates and courts; the forcible enlistment of soldiers and sailors; the eighteenth-century 'bloody code'; the making of law basic to nineteenth-century social reform; the populace's extension of law's arena to newspapers; theologians' use of assumptions basic to English law; Lord Chief Justice Mansfield's concept of the liberty intrinsic to England; and Blackstone's concept of the framework of English law. The result is an invaluable account of the legal bases of eighteenth-century society which is essential reading for historians at all levels. 606 $aLaw$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aCriminal law$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aCrime$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aCriminal law$xHistory. 615 0$aCrime$xHistory. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a364.941 701 $aLandau$b Norma$01760535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816067403321 996 $aLaw, crime, and English society, 1660-1830$94199550 997 $aUNINA
