      abstract = {"This collection of papers from the Twentieth British  Legal History Conference explores the relationship between  substantive law and the way in which it actually worked.  Instead of looking at what the courts said they were doing,  it is concerned more with the reality of what was  happening. To that end, the authors use a wide range of  sources, from court records to merchants' diaries and  lawyers' letters. The way in which the sources are used  reflects the possibilities of legal historical research  which are opening up in the twenty-first century, as large  databases and digitised images - and even online auction  sites - make it a practical possibility to do work at a  level which was almost unthinkable only a short time  ago"--},
