North, Roger. A Discourse on the Study of the Laws. Now Printed From the Original MS. in the Hargrave Collection. With New Illustrations by a Member of the Inner Temple. London: Printed for Charles Baldwyn, 1824. xv, 105 pp. Portrait frontispiece. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-668-4. Cloth. * Reprint of the sole edition. This classic treatise is an incomparable guide to English legal education during the last quarter of the seventeenth century. Written at a time when formal English legal education had reached a low point, it prescribed a self-directed course of study based on reading, compiling commonplace books, attending courts, speaking with lawyers and attending an office or chambers. North [1653-1734], a member of a powerful political family, was a respected member of the Middle Temple and an important chronicler of the restoration-era legal community.
