	Sir William Blackstone - Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Blackstone's Commentaries, written in an urbane, dignified, and clear style, is regarded as the most thorough treatment of the whole of English law ever produced by one man. It demonstrated that English law as a system of justice was comparable to Roman law and the civil law of the Continent.
		Blackstone has been criticized, notably by Jeremy Bentham, for a complacent belief that, in the main, English law was beyond improvement and for his failure to analyze exactly the social and historical factors underlying legal systems.

		Greenwich is poised to expand and once again it will be in the navy's debt - its Medway campus is being developed at the old dockyards in Chatham and features what she believes to be the longest learning resources centre in the world, in a naval drill hall.

		James Strachan, partner of Lady Blackstone, is the "preferred candidate" for the sensitive post of chairman of the independent audit commission, the body responsible for scrutinising "value for money" in local councils in England and Wales.
		The appointment also raises a potential conflict of interest because Tessa Blackstone is responsible for giving grants to municipal museums and art galleries while the audit commission assesses and reviews the effectiveness of local councils' cultural programmes.
