English Common Law in the Early American Colonies is a historical book written by Paul Samuel Reinsch and published in 1899. The book explores the impact of English common law on the early American colonies, particularly in the areas of governance, legal systems, and social structure. Reinsch examines the development of common law in England and its subsequent transplantation to the colonies, exploring how it was adapted to the unique circumstances of colonial life. The book also delves into the tensions between common law and local customs and traditions in the colonies, as well as the role of common law in shaping colonial attitudes towards individual rights and liberties. This is a fascinating and insightful work for anyone interested in the history of law and governance in early America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
