The Mirror of Justices is a book written by William Joseph Whittaker, first published in 1895. The book is a historical study of the English legal system, specifically the laws and customs of medieval England. It takes its title from a manuscript written in the 13th century by Andrew Horne, which was a guide for judges and legal practitioners. Whittaker's book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the legal system in medieval England, including the role of the king, the courts, and the legal profession. The second part examines the laws themselves, including criminal law, property law, and family law. The third part focuses on the administration of justice, including the role of juries, witnesses, and the execution of sentences.Throughout the book, Whittaker draws on a wide variety of sources, including legal treatises, court records, and other historical documents. He also provides extensive commentary and analysis, placing the legal system in its historical context and exploring its evolution over time.The Mirror of Justices is widely regarded as a classic work of legal history, and has been influential in shaping the study of medieval law. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of legal history, as well as anyone interested in the development of the English legal system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
