"The right of personal security consists in a person's legal and uninterrupted enjoyment of his life, his limbs, his body, his health, and his reputation."
-Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England, Book Three(1768)
Commentaries on the Laws of England, Book Three by Sir William Blackstone (1825) is the third in a four-volume set originally published between 1765 and 1770. This edition is the 16th, released in 1825, and includes notes by J. T. Coleridge. Considered a foundational text for many legal systems, it continues to be relevant to any time period.
