A succeeding interval of changes and additions of matter produced Blackstone’s Commentaries, the most lucid in arrangement, which had yet been written, correct in it’s matter, classical in style, and rightfully taking it’s place by the side of the Justinian institutes. but like them, it was only an elementary book. it did not present all the subjects of the law in all their details. it still left it necessary to recur to the original works of which it was the summary.
