While in practice as a conveyancer Powell (1755-1801) became one of the most prolific writers of legal treatises at a time when, following the publication of Blackstone's Commentaries, some writers were attempting to portray the common law as a science based on reason and principle. Powell's most important work was his Essay upon the Law of Contracts and Agreements, which was the first comprehensive treatise on its subject. Beginning with the premise that ‘all reasoning must be founded on first principles’, Powell defined his notion of contract, laying particular stress on the importance of agreement, and then structured his book in such a way as to analyse the component parts of his definition. Although he used civilian sources for his work, and was influenced by the work of the French jurist R. J. Pothier, he limited his citations in general to English case law. He took the view that the fundamental principles of English law should be regarded with a ‘sacred veneration’, and held that the good administration of private law was essential for the preservation of the constitution. At the same time he felt free to criticize the decisions in cited cases where he felt the judges had erred in their principles.
