Notes
1 As Prest demonstrates, Blackstone was in parts conservative and in others radical (Wilfrid Prest, William Blackstone: Law and Letters in the Eighteenth Century (Oxford University Press 2008) 307–308), but his constitutional perspective was in many ways slanted to the conservative: Anthony Page and Wilfrid Prest, ‘Introduction’ in Anthony Page and Wilfrid Prest (eds), Blackstone and His Critics (Hart 2018) ix, xvii–xviii.

7 Page and Prest (eds) (n 1). This is by no means a comprehensive list – it omits whole books (e.g. Wilfrid Prest (ed), The Letters of Sir William Blackstone: 1744–1780 (Selden Society 2006)) as well as a wealth of articles and commentary too expansive to recount here.
8 Blackstone’s views on religion are also addressed in this volume in Ultán Gillen, ‘Blackstone, Parliamentary Sovereignty and his Irish Critics’ (97, 101–106).
