Includes titles representative of the development of law in the British Empire between 1701 and 1800 and is illustrated in more than 11,000 titles exemplifying the emerging philosophies of this dynamic period: the increasingly popular theory of natural law and a growing scientific and rational approach to all aspects of life. These beliefs, reflected in the arts and literature of the times, were also apparent in political, economic and social development. As such, Eighteenth Century Law presents written works on or about legal issues of the 18th century and emphasizes the transition of law based on religion to law incorporating one's natural rights.
