[A] splendid collection … it is remarkable how well the various chapters complement each other. The book repays reading as a whole

Ian Williams, Cambridge Law Journal

[An] excellent book … the foundation for any future scholarship on Blackstone and his Commentaries

RB Bernstein, The Law and Politics Book Review

The worth of Blackstone and his Commentaries … is not to be measured by the distinction of the authors of its various chapters although, in this case, it is difficult to imagine a more impressive collection of scholars covering such a broad range of expertise … Happily, the quality of the writing … matches the outstanding reputations of the respective authors

Stephen Keim, Hearsay

This is very interesting and useful collection of essays, which show very clearly how, nearly 250 years after the publication of his greatest work, there still remains much to be said about the Commentator.

Michael Lobban, Journal of Legal History

While much has been written about the importance of Blackstone's work in the development of the law in the US, these two chapters provide an interesting insight into the influence of his work in continental Europe.
This edited collection demonstrates that there is still much to be said, and a great deal that is still unknown, about William Blackstone and his work.

Adam Webster, Alternative Law Journal
