"Professor Maitland's Rede Lecture is exactly what an exoteric lecture addressed by a specialist to a mixed audience ought to be- an interesting discourse with plenty of illustration and anecdote, and not too much pressing of any definite argument. The general thesis, however, is clear enough to students of legal history." The notes are full of curious and amusing matters, and almost as good reading as the text." Law Quarterly Review 18:98. Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection of New York University (1953) 142.
