Details

Description

A significant early American law dictionary that preceded Black’s dictionary by two years. Black in fact acknowledged his debt to Anderson in the preface of his first edition, and a comparison of entries reveals many instances of similar if not identical language, though both lexicographers have drawn freely from previous works. Anderson’s Dictionary is heavily referenced, citing countless cases, treatises and other sources. Moreover, many entries such as “citizen” and “law” itself, receive extended treatment.

Anderson gives judicially framed definitions whenever possible to illustrate the application of judicial principles. Preferred spellings and the correct pronunciation of often mispronounced words are included, as are Latin and Norman-French terms, and brief biographies of prominent jurists such as Blackstone, Kent, and Story.

Introduction by the Author

An introduction to this Dictionary of Law by the author, with a description of his plan of the work, see here.

The intended audiencie of the dictionary was the profession and the law students: “Hoping that the volume will in some degree lighten -it was drafted at the end of the end of the introduction- the labors of students and practitioners, it is submitted to the kindly consideration of the profession.”
