A new and complete law-dictionary, or, General abridgment of the law : on a more extensive plan than any law-dictionary hitherto published : containing not only the explanation of the terms, but also the law itself, both with regard to theory and practice : also the interpretations of the words made use of in our ancient charters, chronicles, histories, records, and registers : together with such knowledge as it is necessary to illustrate the antiquity of the law and our original government and customs in former times : the whole collected and extracted from all the abridgments, commentaries, histories, institutes, registers, reports, and year-books published to this time, and adapted to the use of barristers, attornies, solicitors, justices of the peace, members of Parliament, clergymen, &c., &c. / by T. Cunningham.
