Magna Charta of King John by Richard Thomson, published by The Legal Classics Library in 1982. Condition is very good, with only some scratches on the outside page edges.
Originally published in the nineteenth century, Richard Thomson's historical study examines the Magna Carta, the landmark charter sealed by King John of England in 1215. Issued during a period of conflict between the English monarchy and rebellious barons, the document established important limits on royal authority and helped shape the development of constitutional government and the rule of law. Although its original protections applied to a relatively narrow group of people, its principles would become influential far beyond medieval England, eventually inspiring generations of legal and political thinkers.
This edition from The Legal Classics Library preserves Thomson's detailed exploration of one of the most consequential documents in legal history. It offers readers historical context surrounding the charter, its origins, and its lasting influence on constitutional traditions.
A wonderful addition for collectors of legal history, medieval English history, constitutional studies, or important works exploring the foundations of modern law.
