Owen. Casebound with dust-jacket £ 12.95. This volume provides a detailed and documented account of one of the most illuminating sections of a Celtic system of law. And since the Welsh lawyers were intensely practical in their approach to the law, it has been possible to show not only the archaic elements which the Welsh law has in common with other Indo-European systems, but also the adaptations made by the jurists as Welsh society became more sophisticated and the way in which principles of Welsh law were applied in the lordships of the March after the Statute of Wales. CARDIFF AND THE MARQUESSES OF BUTE (Studies in Welsh History: Volume 3) John Davies. Casebound with dust-jacket £ 12.95. The Bute estate, held by the family from 1766 to 1947, was of central importance in the social, political and cultural life of Glamorgan. Even more significant, both in the history of Wales and in the history of aristocratic participation in economic development was the family's crucial contribution to the rise of the port of Cardiff, and to the growth of the South Wales iron and coal trade. The book contains chapters on the family, the estate and its administration, the estate and the local community, the agricultural estate, the urban estate, the mineral estate and on Bute involvement in docks and railways.
