Gentlemen and Poachers: The English Game Laws 1671-1831
ISBN: 9780521090759 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The eighteenth-century English game laws have long been synonymous with petty tyranny.

In the early nineteenth century, it was claimed that one out of every four inmates in England's prisons was an offender against the game laws. Bitterly denounced at the time, they have continued to be condemned by...

ISBN: 9780521085656 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Professor Plucknett examines the early laws, which were mainly the attempts of perplexed men in a harsh age to fix a value on human life and property, and to enforce the exaction of these monetary penalties: wer and bot and wite. He then shows how the common law under Edward I became more technical, more concerned with principles, and of course more universal and better...
