While the work saw ten successful editions in London between 1736 and 1788 this 1768 New York printing marks a pivotal. unknown

This popular layman's guide by one of the most prolific legal writers of eighteenth-century England went through ten English editions between 1736 and 1788. The mention of "All Manner of Persons" in the subtitle is significant. Jacob though certainly interested in boosting sales by attracting the widest audience possible was an idealist who believed that widespread knowledge of the law would help create a more just society. This is also evident in his other publications such as The Common Law Common-Placed 1726 and Treatise of Law. unknown books
