Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.

Terrible
The book that I received was not the one that I ordered on Amazon.com. The book cover and the content of the book is not anything like the book that I ordered. The only thing that is the same is the title of the book. On the book that I received there are only stones on the book cover, on the book advertised from the website there is a chair.

I went back to Amazon.com and double checked the book that I ordered and this is not it. I bought this book for the sole purpose of having a collection of Shakespeare's works. The book that I recieved was only Shakespeare's work from Cymbeline and Timon of Atens. This book was advertised on the Amazon.com website to have "Includes a Huge Collection of the Comedies, History, Poems, Romances, Tragedies, and works of William Shakespeare." The book that I received only includs two works from Shakespeare.

Great for the Kindle
I'm not sure what the previous reviewer is talking about.This edition has a complete Table of Contents which not only allows you to navigate to each individual play, but also to each act and then each individual scene.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for in a KINDLE Shakespeare collection.Every other version I've tried has been a terrible waste of money and I wonder how long it's going to be before Amazon starts acting responsibly and deleting the worthless e-text versions of this and other collections or offering trial samples of every book listed so people will stop being ripped off.

The only improvement I could see is for the table of contents and the individual listings to be justified on the right side of the screen next to the Kindle cursor, but the spacing is wide enough between lines that this is really just quibbling.I would like to see every Kindle book with this simple modification.
