Holdsworth thought highly of this book noting its "a learned book-the author tells us that he had consulted nearly a hundred authorities; the idea of making such a book was original; and the main features of the constitution are set out." In his preface Jacob indicates that he did not write this treatise on England's Constitution for the landed gentry exclusively but for "gentlemen of all ranks" that is the literate general public. This distinction is significant.

Moderate rubbing to extremities some chipping to spine ends corners bumped and lightly worn a few minor scuffs to boards hinges cracked light browning to text. Early owner signature to rear pastedown interior otherwise clean. $2200. First American edition designated the seventh on the title page in reference to the prior six editions published in London. This popular layman's guide by one of the most prolific legal writers of eighteenth-century England went through ten English editions between 1736 and 1788. The mention of "All Manner of Persons" in the subtitle is significant. Jacob though certainly interested in boosting sales by attracting the widest audience possible was an idealist who believed that widespread knowledge of the law would help create a more just society. This is also evident in his other publications such as The Common Law Common-Placed 1726 and Treatise of Law. unknown books‎

As Cowley has pointed out A New Law-Dictionary was both Jacob's masterpiece and "an entirely new departure in legal literature" that provided a model for several subsequent efforts. In contrast to earlier works each entry summarizes all of the laws relating to the subject and offers extensive interpretive commentary. Obsolete terms are omitted. It was recognized almost immediately that Jacob created a highly useful legal encyclopedia that was more detailed and concise than any other abridgment of the period. An extremely popular work that went through twelve editions between 1729 and 1800 it offers unparalleled insights into Anglo-American law during the eighteenth century.
