Coke's Institutes are thought to be the first textbooks on the modern common law. Taken together they are a virtual legal encyclopedia of the law as it stood in Coke's lifetime. First published in 1628, it was a standard work for decades. This reprint of the 18th edition is considered preferable due to the notes and thorough index.
