About This Item
Oxford: Printed at the Clarendon Press, 1771. xi, [5], 230pp, [16]. With two engraved folding plates. Contemporary blind-tooled calf, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Heavily rubbed, chipping to head of spine. Very occasional early inked annotations to margins. An abstract of the lectures of jurist and legal scholar William Blackstone (1723-1780) delivered during his tenure as Vinerian professor of law at Oxford, beginning in 1753. First published anonymously in 1756, the Analysis was the schema upon which Blackstone developed his highly influential magnum opus, Commentaries on the Laws of England (Oxford, 1765-1769). The sixth edition is particularly significant for being the first to correspond to a printed version of the Commentaries. ESTC T56696.. Sixth edition. 8vo.
