Description: A glossary with brief translations and descriptions of maxims,tags, words and phrases found in legal texts (mainly those found in derived from the Common Law of England & Wales), with roman numerals, abbreviations and references used in text editing.
Notes: A reference book aimed at law students and practitioners and their staff, and general readers who wonder at the meaning of many phrases and words that are still commonly used, despite the attempts by political leaders to "purify" and "simplify".   The printer who prepared the book for publication said he did not realise just much of his native language (english) is actually latin that has become english.  The book has been commended by law teachers as a basic reference for students.
