Blackstone's Commentaries of the Laws of England

It is no secret to those who know me that I am guilty of having a law degree (Juris Doctor, that is). In the interest of the public good, I have recently decided to make use of the knowledge that I have rather painfully garnered to that end, in order to help laymen and laywomen to acquire a knowledge of the law.

Because of that interest, I have recently started Legal Secrets. In addition to having made an initial Manifesto, which I hope that you will read, I have also come to the conclusion that it would be reasonable to start this attempt at legal education with Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England.

I therefore invite you, the reader, to peruse the four sections of the Introduction to those Commentaries. They are:

Section One: On The Study of The Law.
Section Two: Of the Nature of Laws in General.
Section Three: Of the Laws of England.
Section Four: Of the Countries Subject to the Laws of England.

I hope to edit and publish a chapter of Blackstone's a day until the whole text is online and available to you. At that point, I will be editing and updating this text, with the working title of Brandt on the Common Law.

Enjoy.
