Lord Coke was particularly conversant with the Statute Law, and well skilled in exposition. His Commentary upon Magna Charta, and particularly on the celebrated 29th Chapter, is deeply interesting to the lawyers of the present age, as well from the value and dignity of the text, as the spirit of justice and of civil liberty which pervades and animates the work. Upon these Statutes Lord Coke continually gives us his own Commentaries, very full of excellent learning, wherein he shows how the Common Law stood before the making of such Statutes, whether they are introductory of any new law, or only declaratory of the old; what were the causes and ends of their being enacted," etc.-Warren's L.
