Common Law Treatise, William Blackstone (1765 to 1769)

Sources drawn from Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in four volumes between 1765 and 1769, the standard eighteenth-century restatement of English common law that shaped American legal education. Belongs here: a citation to Blackstone's own treatise text. Does not belong here: Coke's earlier Institutes, which carries its own separate heading.
