In the introduction to a later reprint of this book, J. Wesley Miller said this was "the most conspicuous early volume of English legal poetry.... [I]t cast the holdings of the first eleven Parts of Coke's Reports...into heroic couplets and thereby forged a link between law and poetry which would culminate in John Anstey's The Pleader's Guide (1796) and John Crisp's The Conveyancer's Guide (1821).": Hein, 1999 iii-iv.
