Here Stuart Anderson offers a completely fresh interpretation of the manner in which the concepts found in the 1925 property legislation were formed by debates about law reform beginning in the 1840s.

Examining the texts of the statutes with a historian's eye, he explains how the statutes were enacted, by whom, and for what reasons. The result is both a work of legal history and a commentary on modern English land law.

Reviews for Lawyers and the Making of English Land Law 1832-1940

`carefully balanced account' German Historical Institute Bulletin 'carefully balanced account' German Historical Institute London Bulletin, Volume XVI, No. 1, February 1994 `This is a well-researched and carefully written study of the many discussions, draft reports and Bills that have led to the several reforming statutes on the Land Law of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ... Coming from this printing house, it is, of course, attractively presented.' The Cambridge Law Journal `He has done a service to his profession and to the understanding of professionalism in general, and its paradoxical but plausible belief that true self-love and social are the same ' Times Literary Supplement `This is an interesting and scholarly book, giving a comprehensive account of the many vicissitudes in the struggle for the reform of the land law in the period covered by the book ... well researched and as is to be expected from this house, well presented. It represents an interesting contribution to legal history ...' New Law Journal
