Description

Virginia men of law constituted one of the vital first learned professions in colonial The us, and Virginia legal culture had the most important and lasting affect on American political institutions and jurisprudence. Exploring the book collections of these Virginians due to this fact offers insight into the history of the book and the intellectual history of early The us. It also addresses very important questions of how English culture migrated to the American colonies and was once transformed into a distinctive American culture.

Focusing at the law books that colonial Virginians acquired, how they used them, and how they in the end produced a native-grown legal literature, this collection explores the law and intellectual culture of the Commonwealth and reveals the origins of a distinctively Virginian legal literature. The contributors argue that understanding the development of early Virginia legal history―as shown through these book collections―not only illuminates vital aspects of Virginia’s history and culture; it also underlies a thorough understanding of colonial and revolutionary American history and culture.
