Sir William Searle Holdsworth was professor of constitutional law at University College, London (1903–8). After 1922 he was Vinerian professor of English law at Oxford. Holdsworth's greatest achievement is his History of English Law in 17 Volumes.

Sir William Holdsworth's monumental legal history extends from Anglo-Saxon times to the nineteenth-century Judicature Acts. It was interrupted by bis death in 1945, when he had reached Volume 12.

Subsequent volumes have been edited by Professors A. L. Goodhart and H. G. Hanbury, at first from Holdsworth's type-script and later, with more difficulty, from his manuscript notes.

Volume 7 begins Part II of Book IV The Common Law and Its Rivals covering the period 1485-1700 and dealing specifically with the rules of law.

In Chapter I, Holdsworth examines the land law, under the headings:-

  • The Action of Ejectment;
  • Seisin Possession and Ownership;
  • Contingent Remainders;
  • Executory Interests;
  • Powers of Appointment;
  • The Rules against Perpetuities;
  • Landlord and Tenant;
  • Copy-holds;
  • Incorporeal Things;
  • Conveyancing; and
  • The Interpretation of Conveyances.
In Chapter II, he considers chattels personal, under the headings:-

  • The Action of Trover and Conversion;
  • The Ownership and Possession of Chattels;
  • and Choses in Action.
