Blackstone's Commentaries
The ''Commentaries on the Laws of England'' (commonly, but informally known as ''Blackstone's Commentaries'') are an influential 18th-century treatise on the common law of England by Sir William Blackstone, originally published by the Clarendon Press at Oxford between 1765 and 1769. The work is divided into four volumes, on the rights of persons, the rights of things, of private wrongs and of public wrongs. The ''Commentaries'' were long regarded as the leading work on the development of English law and played a role in the development of the American legal system. They were in fact the first methodical treatise on the common law suitable for a lay readership since at least the Middle Ages. The common law of England has relied on precedent more than statute and codifications and has been far less amenable than the civil law, developed from the Roman law, to the needs of a treatise. The ''Commentaries'' were influential largely because they were in fact readable, and becaus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Blackstone's Formulation
In criminal law, Blackstone's ratio (more recently referred to sometimes as Blackstone's formulation) is the idea that: as expressed by the English jurist William Blackstone in his seminal work ''Commentaries on the Laws of England'', published in the 1760s. The idea subsequently became a staple of legal thinking in jurisdictions with legal systems derived from English criminal law and continues to be a topic of debate. There is also a long pre-history of similar sentiments going back centuries in a variety of legal traditions. In the United States, high courts in individual states continue to adopt specific numerical values for the ratio, often not 10:1. As of 2018, courts in 38 states had adopted such a position. In Blackstone's ''Commentaries'' The phrase, repeated widely and usually in isolation, comes from a longer passage, the fourth in a series of five discussions of rules of presumption by Blackstone: The phrase was absorbed by the British legal system, becoming ...
