Excerpt from The Mirrour of Justices: Written Originally in the Old French, Long Before the Conquest; And Many Things Added; To Which Is Added the Diversity of Courts and Their Jurisdiction Andrew Horn, the reputed author or compiler of the Mirror of Justices, was born in London, in which city, in the year A. D. 1328, he also died. He was by occupation a fishmonger, and in this calling attained such honorable rank among his fellow-merchants that in A. D. 1320 he was elected Chamberlain of London, and held that office by annual re-election till his death. Being a man of ample means and literary tastes, and having no immediate family, he devoted his leisure to antiquarian research, and by his will bequeathed to the chamber of Guildhall a number of valuable manuscripts, among which were a compilation of the city laws and customs called the Liber Horn, and a bonk entitled Speculum - Justiciariorum, or The Mirror of Justices.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
