About the Selden
Society
|
|
The Society was founded in 1887 ‘to encourage study and advance the knowledge of the history of English Law’. It publishes annual volumes of source materials such as law reports, court records and other kinds of professional literature. In each case the text is provided with a translation (where the original is Latin or French) and with full indices and other apparatus. The introductions to these volumes comprise a substantial proportion of the research done in modern times on the history of the common law; and they and the materials themselves are important for social, economic, constitutional, and linguistic historians, and also for students of local and family history. The Society has in fact averaged a little more than a volume a year; and 2003 saw the publication of the 120th volume in the series, the whole of which, as of this writing, remains available in print. There are now almost 1700 members in some 30 countries, mainly the United Kingdom, the United States and the Commonwealth. These members include, in addition to legal historians, professional and amateur, many distinguished judges and practicing lawyers, together with most of the major university, court and official libraries in the English-speaking world. For the annual subscription a member receives without further charge the annual volume, the annual report of the Council of the Society and occasional literature, including published lectures. A member is also entitled to concessional rates on other publications. For further information about the Selden Society and its programs, see below and the Society’s London website. |
