PreservePrecious Memories

A yearbook is a comprehensive record of the entire year of a high school class. It encompasses the crucial events, milestones, and, most importantly, the people who make up the class and make it unique. It also serves as a compilation of the teachers and staff who made your high school years memorable. Therefore, the primary reason why you should consider buying high school yearbooks online is the ability to preserve those memories and carry them with you for the rest of your life.

Show It to Your Own Children

Another reason why you should order your yearbook is that it will be something you can share with your children one day. They will likely be fascinated to learn more about your high school years, including how you looked and what your friends were like.

Substantial numbers of manuscripts circulated during the Late Middle Ages, containing reports of pleas heard before the Common Bench. In the sixteenth century versions of this material appeared in print form. These publications constituted the earliest legal precedents of the common law. They are extant in a continuous series from 1268 to 1535, covering the reigns of King Edward I to Henry VIII. The language of the original manuscripts and editions was either Latin or Law French.[1] Maitland and others have considered that the medieval manuscripts were compiled by law students, rather than being officially sanctioned accounts of court proceedings.

The best-known printed version is the so-called "Vulgate" edition, which appeared in a series of volumes between 1678 and 1680, and which became the standard edition consulted by practising lawyers. More recent editions for the use of lawyers and historians have been made by the Selden Society.[2] Traditionally, they have been divided into eleven separate series:

A number of abridgements of the Year Books were compiled and circulated by various editors, who sought to excerpt leading cases and categorise them by subject. The first abridgment was made by Nicholas Statham, Baron of the Exchequer under Edward IV, in around 1470.[4]

The last year for which a yearbook was printed was 1535. Thereafter printed law reports became more various. The earliest such reports are called the nominate reports; their original publications were named after the court reporter who compiled and edited them. Sir Edward Coke was one important early jurist who published a series of court reports during his tenure as chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas.[5]

Every year since Carnegie's founding in 1902, the institution has published a selection of its discoveries in an annual Year Book. Over time, this annual report evolved from a complete record of Carnegie's scientific output to a document for highlighting its top annual achievements, the researchers behind these discoveries, and the generous supporters who make the institution's work possible.

The Texas A&M University Yearbook Online Collection begins with the initial 1895 Olio publication. The yearbooks begin annual publication in 1903 and continue through today. The newer editions are planned to be included on this website in future developments. The original yearbooks can be viewed at the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives.

The Texas A&M University Online Yearbook Collection provides a window into student life at Texas A&M. In addition to introducing the reader to those who have both built and inhabited A&M throughout the years, the yearbooks include important historical information and commentary concerning the growth and development of Texas A&M.

I read for 30 minutes each morning as part of my morning routine. And I also read for about 30 minutes before bed. The morning books are always non-fiction, and the before-bed books are fiction that I read aloud to my wife as we fell asleep (super cute, I know). We did a lot of Jane Austin this year.

With a focus on fostering a deep love for reading and prioritizing student growth, A Year for the Books: Routines and Mindsets for Creating Student-Centered Reading Communities is a must-have for educators from kindergarten through middle school.

What educators appreciate most about Maria is her focus on joyful, realistic approaches toward classroom instruction. All of Maria's books are filled with helpful ideas for busy literacy teachers.

Manuscripts of the year books began to be published shortly after printing was first introduced to England. William de Machlinia seems to have printed the first of these so call "Black Letter" editions around the year 1481, but the earliest systematic publisher of Year Books was Richard Pynson (or Pinson) between the years 1493 and 1528. Beginning in 1553, Richard Tottell published some two hundred and twenty-five issues, which were later collected into ten volumes in the so-called "Quarto Edition". They were issued in 1678-80 in eleven large folio volumes, with the addition of a volume containing the Years of Edward I and Edward II. This so called "Standard" or "Vulgate" or "Maynard Edition" was printed by George Sawbridge, William Rawlins, and Samuel Roycroft.

All these Black Letter editions were of very poor quality. They were rife with errors of spelling, omissions of text, wrong insertions, and erratic binding. For a history of these early editions, see Winfield (Winfield, Percy H. The Chief Sources of English Legal History, Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1925 at pp.158-78), and Beale (Beale, Joseph H. A Bibliography of Early English Law Books. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1926 at pp.51-104). For a more detailed bibliography, see Soule's "Year-Book Bibliography" (Soule, Charles C. "Year-Book Bibliography" in 14 Harvard Law Review at p.73 (1901)). This paper was reprinted, with additions in Maxwell's 1925 bibliography. (Maxwell, William H. Sweet and Maxwell's Complete Law Book Catalogue, London: Sweet and Maxwell, 1925-1949. vol. 1, at p.203) A comprehensive listing of these old printed editions can also be found on the website of David J. Seipp detailed above. Seipp's work, resulting in the 2007 reprint of the Vulgate edition (Seipp, David J., and John Maynard eds. Year Books, or, Reports in the Following Reigns, With Notes to Brooke and Fitzherbert's Abridgments: the Vulgate edition of 1678-1680. 11 Vols. Clark, N.J.: Lawbook Exchange, 2007, 1678), contains new introductions that include references to his online Index and Paraphrase of Printed Year Book Reports, 1268-1535. Consult these bibliographical sources for complete listings of the Black Letter editions, as only the two main compilations described above are included in this present guide.

At the end of the nineteenth century, scholars became interested in providing more carefully edited versions, based on intensive study of the original manuscripts. Several learned societies, notably the Selden Society and the Ames Foundation supported the publication of these scholarly editions, which typically include the edited original Law French text, accompanied by the Latin text of the official plea roll record when available, and an English translation of both the French and Latin texts. The extensive introductions to each volume contain some of the most important studies of the English common law courts, while the tables and detailed indexes included are of great value to legal scholars.

The Ames Foundation began publishing year books in 1914 and to date has published seven volumes of the year books from the reign of Richard II (1377-99). A complete list of Ames Foundation publications can be found at here.

Another important source of year books is the Rolls Series, or Rerum Britannicarum Medii Aevi Scriptores or Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain and Ireland During the Middle Ages. This series includes 20 volumes of year books from Edward I and Edward III, edited by A. J. Horwood and L. O. Pike, and published between 1883-1911.
