First published in 1720, Wood's Institute was the only comprehensive treatise on English law until Blackstone's Commentaries. According to Holdsworth, Wood "anticipates Blackstone, just as, in some respects, he anticipates him in the design and execution of his book. In fact, as Blackstone recognized, the book had considerable merits. 'Upon the whole,' he said, 'his work is undoubtedly a valuable performance; and great are the obligations of the student to him, and his predecessor Finch, for their happy progress in reducing the elements of law from their former chaos to a regular methodical science.'" The tenth and final edition appeared in 1772. Holdsworth, A History of English Law XII:419. English Short-Title Catalogue T133277.
