A Discourse Upon the Exposition and Understanding of Statutes. With Sir Thomas Egerton's Additions. Edited From Manuscripts in the Huntington Library

Written anonymously at the end of the Year Book period, the Discourse Upon the Exposicion and Understandinge of Statutes is the earliest English treatise on the subject. Thorne's edition has the additional appeal of lengthy manuscript notes compiled from a copy owned by Sir Thomas Egerton [?1540-1617], an attorney who held several important posts in Elizabethan England including Solicitor-General and Lord Chancellor.
