Holdsworth thought highly of this book noting its "a learned book-the author tells us that he had consulted nearly a hundred authorities; the idea of making such a book was original; and the main features of the constitution are set out." In his preface Jacob indicates that he did not write this treatise on England's Constitution for the landed gentry exclusively but for "gentlemen of all ranks" that is the literate general public. This distinction 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 A Tr. unknown books

Fourth edition enlarged the first to include Kosmichen Physik of the famous physics textbook of Mathias Pouillet Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie 1827-30 translated and substantially enlarged and revised by Johann Muller a physics and technology professor at the University of Freiburg. Muller's version in turn became a standard physics textbook in the German-speaking world and went through a number of editions remaining in use through the early 20th century. "Muller's most significant textbook the Lehrbuch first appeared as Pouillet's Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie a 'free adaptation' of the 1837 edition of C.S. Pouillet's Elements de Physique experimentale et de Meteorologie. Muller'sinnovations included numerous woodcuts inserted directly into the text. . .The illustrations of the apparatus were particularly useful for the mechanician. The book was initially styled for the nonphysics major. He supplied the derivations of mathematical formulas and stressed mechanical theorems. Muller incorporated Gauss's works on magnetism for the first time and recast the chapters on galvanism light and meteorology. Each of the seven editions that were published during his lifetime underwent considerable emendation. A third volume Lehrbuch der Kosmicschen Physik based upon Muller's own observations was added in 1856." –D.S.B. IX p. 566. F. Vieweg, 1852, 1853, 1856. hardcover books
