In fact, it seems that the anonymous revisor mentioned in the title thought very highly of the Commentaries, for he says in a footnote to the last paragraph of the introduction, concerning the objects of the law (p. 11): "Under these four large Heads, the learned Judge has with the greatest Perspicuity arranged his most elegant Commentaries on the Laws of England, which will be read, not only by Lawyers, but Englishmen of every Degree, Rank or Profession, who have any Regard for the Preservation of the Laws and Constitution of the British Empire, with infinite Pleasure and Delight, so long as those Laws and Constitution endure. Faxit DEUS in Secula Seculorum!" A casual perusal shows that a great many references to books published in since the prior edition have been added in the margins in this edition, including Blackstone's Commentaries, Burn's Justice in four volumes, Burrow's Reports, Wilson's Reports, and Vesey's Chancery Reports, as well as to the newly-fashionable seventeenth-century work, Sheppard's Touchstone of Common Assurances. · References: Johnson 207 (8 copies); Bridgman 367; Worrall 84; Marvin 743; S&M 1:38(88); Holdsworth, HEL 12:418-419; ESTC T101118.
