Description
Brydall, John. Speculum Juris Anglicani, or, A View of the Laws of England, as They are Divided into Statutes, Common-Law and Customs. London: Printed by John Streater, Elizabeth Flesher and H. Twyford, Assigns of Rich. and Edward Atkins for Thomas Dring, 1673.
This concisely written work represents one of a growing number of titles created to aid students as the educational system of the Inns of Court declined in the seventeenth century. Using statutes, unwritten law and customs as his headings, John Brydall (1635–1705?) provides a brief overview of the principal characteristics of English law. A useful student manual, two imprints of this edition were the only ones ever published.
