Research Abstract	By analysis of the 18th century catalogues of law books, it became clear that the popular law books market had been materialized since the Act for turning the law books into English in Commonwealth period. The stability of the rule of law in the 18th century England might partly depend on this diffusion of the popularized legal knowledge to countryside. On the other hand, the market of scientific writings was narrow and they are circulated in manuscripts. Among them, the group of posthumous-works by Baron Gilbert published anonymously offered the materials to Commentaries and the matrix to Legal Encyclopedia.
