This page lists volumes of statutes in chronological order, from the Act of Union between England and Scotland, up to fifty years ago when government publications come into the public domain. The volumes linked are from a variety of series, and hosted either on Google Books, Internet Archive, or for a few volumes from the 1920s and 1930s, Wikicommons. For pre-Union English statutes, the standard edition is that of ‘The Statutes of the Realm<\/a>‘, which continues up to the end of Anne’s reign.<\/p>\n
