Description

"....Was law inimical to community...or was the relationship between the two more complex? Ddi that relationship, whatever it was, remain constant, or did it change as the seventeenth century turned to the eighteenth and the eighteenth moved toward the Revolution? These are large and difficult questions. Large, because how people attempt to resolve the disputes that inevitably roil human relations is an elemental issue in any society. Difficult, because the raw legal data required to answer them can most charitably be described as Augean and do not readily yield their social or economic significance...."
