OLD LAW BOOKS._The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 3 (of 3) Everlasting Calerdar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

It is remarkable, that the oldest book in the German law is entitled

“Spiegel,” or the Looking-glass which answers to our “Mirror of

Justices:” it was compiled by Eckius de Reckaw, and is inserted in

Goldastus’s Collectanea. One of the ancient Icelandish books is likewise

styled “Speculum Regale.” There is also in Schrevelius’s Teutonic

Antiquities a collection of the ancient laws of Pomerania and Prussia,

under the title of “Speculum.” Surely all this cannot be the effect of

pure accident.
