A New Abridgment of the Law
From Wythepedia: The George Wythe Encyclopedia
by Matthew Bacon
This work is more akin to a legal encyclopedia, containing cohesive treatments of whole areas of the law, with references to statutes and authoritative treatises, as well as decided cases (both in printed reports and from MSS), rather than simply an abridgement or digest of the reports. [1]
