From the rear cover
'The bible of American lawyers, ' Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England has been the most influential book in English on our legal system and has nourished the American renaissance of the common law ever since its publication (1765-69). Here is Daniel J. Boorstin's great essay on the Commentaries, showing how Blackstone, employing eighteenth-century ideas of science, religion, history, aesthetics, and philosophy, made of the law both a conservative and a mysterious science.
