The only variorum edition of Blackstone's seminal treatise on the common law. With introductions and notes by the editors placing the Commentaries in their historical, political, and legal context, the Oxford Edition traces the evolution of Blackstone's thought from the first to the ninth edition.
Blackstones Commentaries remain a central source for understanding both historical and modern Anglo-American law as well as many debates in Anglo-American legal philosophy and Oxford University Presss new edition of the Commentaries offers a valuable new resource for studying them.
