"Our Legal Heritage: 600-1776 King AEthelbert - King George III" by S. A. Reilly is a historical account written in the early 21st century. This work explores the evolution of English law from the early medieval period through to the eve of the American Revolution, focusing on significant legal developments. The book aims to provide readers with an appreciation for the longstanding legal traditions that have shaped modern society, delving into the origins of common law, statutory law, and pivotal legal documents such as the Magna Carta. The opening of the book sets a foundational context for understanding the development of laws in England. It outlines the societal and legal structures from the early years, beginning with the time of King AEthelbert. Reilly introduces the early communities, their practices, and the initial concepts of law that governed personal injury, theft, and marriage. The text emphasizes the transition from oral traditions to written laws, as King AEthelbert and St. Augustine sought to codify and formalize laws that would govern personal and communal behaviors, hinting at the evolution of legal concepts like compensation and standing in society. This engagement with historical context establishes a framework for exploring subsequent legal milestones throughout the book.
