Written while serving as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court the work defends both the powers of the federal government and economic liberty. The work begins with a review of American history before the Constitution an analysis of the Articles of Confederation and a history of the writing and adoption of the Constitution. The chapters which follow lay out the rules of interpretation of the Constitution and then go through each of the provisions of both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights line-by-line to explain their intent justification and application. Chief Justice John Marshall to whom Story dedicated the work wrote to Story after reviewing his copy: "I have finished reading your great work and wish it could be read by every statesman and every would-be statesman in the United States. It is a comprehensive and an accurate commentary on our Constitution formed in the spirit of the original text."<br/> <br/>Howes S1047; Sabin 92291; Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 2914.

Light toning to text moderate edgewear light soiling and small library inkstamps to title pages. Quite uncommon in the trade. $1750. Fourth edition. Commentaries on the Constitution was the most extensive and widely discussed study of the Constitution written during the antebellum period. It was originally published in 1833 and the next two editions appeared in 1851 and 1858. Divided into three books it offers a strongly nationalist interpretation of the Federal constitution. Book I contains a history of the colonies and a discussion of their charters. Book II discusses the Continental Congress and analyzes the flaws that crippled the Articles of Confederation. Book III begins with a history of the Constitution and its ratification. This is followed by a brilliant line-by-line exposition of each of its articles and amendments. Published in 1873 Cooley's edition updated Story's text to include discussion of the 13th 14th and 15th Amendments as well as other changes introduced during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Cooley's additions are enclosed in square brackets some notes by Edmund Bennett the editor of the third edition are retained and attributed.

First published in 1833 this work is probably the most important work written on the American Constitution during the nineteenth century. Though overshadowed by Marshall on the U.S. Supreme Court Story had no peer as a teacher or writer. Comparing the Commentaries to The Federalist James Kent observed that Story's treatise was "written in the same free and liberal spirit with equal exactness and soundness of doctrine and with great beauty and eloquence of composition. Whoever seeks for a complete history and exposition of this branch of our jurisprudence will have recourse to the above work which is written with great candor and characterized by extended research and a careful examination of the vital principles upon which our government reposes" cited in Marvin Legal Bibliography 669-670.
