Review(s) from previous edition

"Ansons Law of Contract, under the stewardship of Jack Beatson, remains one of the finest expositions of English contract law available... Anson is the first textbook I would recommend to students of contract law. It is simply of a higher quality than any other text... for a clear, readable and authoritative exposition of the general principles of contract law, it is impressive indeed. - Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly

"This book speaks for itself as one of the indispensable classic text books on English Contract law." - Dr. Reid, Univ. of Edinburgh
