The first contains a set of twenty-five maxims, or \u003cem\u003eregulae\u003c\/em\u003e. One of the earliest, if not first, collections of maxims on English law, it is remarkable for its stylistic vigor, intellectual rigor, meticulousness and clarity. The second treatise is a review of the history and practical application of criminal law, estate law, personal property law and the law of slander (i.e. \"the preservation of our good names from shame and infamy\"). \u003cem\u003eThe Use of the Law \u003c\/em\u003eis probably not in fact by Bacon; it was first printed anonymously as Part II of \u003cem\u003eThe Lawyers Light \u003c\/em\u003e(1629) by Sir John Doddridge. Among America's Founding Fathers, Jefferson held Bacon in high esteem. In a 1789 letter to John Trumbull, he said he considered Bacon, Locke and Newton to be \"the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception.\" xix, 104, vii, 84 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 13, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52626400444723,"sku":"9781584772484","price":75.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/c3EvVHYwbUN5czJTeWxuT0V6VXdqdz09.webp?v=1762066711","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-elements-of-the-common-laws-of-england-1630-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
