"Our Legal Heritage: 600-1776 King AEthelbert - King George III" written by S. A. Reilly, is a historical exploration of English law that emphasizes the societal and legal structures in England from the early years, beginning with the time of King AEthelbert, as it examines the path of legal concepts from medieval times to the American Revolution. The book highlights the move from spoken customs to written laws, initiated by King AEthelbert's efforts to formalize rules with input from St. Augustine, which then evolved into concepts such as compensation. The book provides an overview of the development of common and statutory law, as well as significant legal documents like the Magna Carta in order to give its readers an understanding of the historical legal traditions influencing today's society.
