Law-French and Latin were falling out of use by the time they were finally abolished in England by statute in 1733. These languages and their conventions had become esoteric by the time Wright's volume appeared. Written by a member of the last generation to master them in the course of his legal education it was intended to be a kind of Rosetta stone for the contemporary barrister and scholar. Long a standard work this reference went through ten editions by 1912. The ninth edition is preferred because it has better plates derived from copper engravings rather than photostats. It remains an indispensable guide when consulting early charters deeds or records. unknown books
