Reprint of the sole edition. In 1834 John Reed, President Judge of the Courts of Common Pleas of the Ninth Judicial District of Pennsylvania, founded Dickinson School of Law, the oldest law school in Pennsylvania. This eminent jurist probably wrote this work as a text for his students. It is a fascinating document of the American reception of Blackstone. Like Tucker's Commentaries on the Laws of Virginia (1831-32), this work follows the arrangement of Books I-III of Blackstone's Commentaries. Portions of Blackstone's text, enclosed in quotation marks and stripped of their footnotes, alternate with original material on Pennsylvanian and, to some extent, federal law. (References, including case and statutory citations, are included in the text.)
