London and Dublin: Printed for G. G. J. and J. Robinson, T. Payment, E. and R. Brooke, T. Whieldon and J. Butterworth; and L. White, 1791-1806.

Alphabetically Digested Under Proper Titles; With Notes and References to the Whole. The Second Edition in 24 volumes with a considerably enlarged index, and with the 6 volume supplement, An Abridgment of the Modern Determinations in the Courts of Law and Equity .. By Several Gentlemen in the respective branches of the law (London: A. Strahan, 1799-1806). English jurist Charles Viner (1678-1756) devoted most of his life to the compilation of this work, being an extensive compendium of legal lore descended from Rolle’s Abridgment. “[T]he most voluminous production of any single individual in the whole bibliography of the Common Law. Whatever is to be found in the old Abridgments, or in all printed and several MS. Reports anterior to Geo. III., Mr. Viner has translated, abridged, remodelled, and introduced or referred to in his work.” (J. G. Marvin, Legal Bibliography, or a thesaurus of American, English, Irish and Scotch law books: together with some continental treatises)
