Special $25. "My name will survive as long as man survives because I am writing the greatest diary that has ever been written. I intend to surpass Pepys as a diarist." When John Frush Knox 1907-1997 wrote these words he was in the middle of law school and his attempt at surpassing Pepys-part scrapbook part social commentary and part recollection-had already reached 750 pages. His efforts as a chronicler might have landed in a family attic had he not secured an eminent position after graduation as law clerk to Justice James C. McReynolds-arguably one of the most disagreeable justices to sit on the Supreme Court-during the tumultuous year when President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to "pack" the Court with justices who would approve his New Deal agenda. Knox's memoir instead emerges as a record of one of the most fascinating periods in American history. The Forgotten Memoir of John Knox-edited by Dennis J. Hutchinson and David J. Garrow-offers a candid at times naive insider's view of the showdown between Roosevelt and the Court that took place in 1937. At the same time it marvelously portrays a Washington culture now long gone. Although the new Supreme Court building had been open for a year by the time Knox joined McReynolds' staff most of the justices continued to work from their homes each supported by a small staff. Knox the epitome of the overzealous and officious young man after landing what he believes to be a dream position continually fears for his job under the notoriously rude and nakedly racist justice. But he soon develops close relationships with the justice's two black servants: Harry Parker the messenger who does "everything but breathe" for the justice and Mary Diggs the maid and cook. Together they plot and sidestep around their employer's idiosyncrasies to keep the household running while history is made in the Court. A substantial foreword by Dennis Hutchinson and David Garrow sets the stage and a gallery of period photos of Knox McReynolds and other figures of the time gives life to this engaging account unknown books

De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae The Laws and Customs of England is the first treatise on English law. A systematic work it emphasizes the separation of procedural and substantive matters and also cites cases as sources of at least intellectual if not formal authority. In Maitland's words Bracton's Legibus is "the crown and flower of English medieval jurisprudence" and "by far the greatest of our medieval law books." Sweet & Maxwell adds that it "is distinguished by rich casuistic details and by the careful reproduction of the judicial decisions on individual cases of law.": Sweet & Maxwell A Legal Bibliography of the British Commonwealth 1:516.

Sturdy have brought together a wonderful collection of primary sources that sheds light on a large number of topics pertaining to the history of science political history of the Regency and early eighteenth-century economic history. It should be part of any university library that caters to readers of French. Ably edited clearly presented and including nineteen pages of color illustrations this work is a worthy addition it is volume 46 to the Collection of Studies from the International Academy of the History of Science edited by Emmanuel Poulle and Robert Halleux. . . As should be expected the reports vary in quantity and quality. Some go into great detail on commercial matters Bordeaux or pay particular attention to agriculture Dijon Languedoc. Others are fragmentary Aix-en-Provence Maubeuge Moulins or include a great deal of specific information about individuals Paris; the labor process Amiens Lyon or mining Grenoble Navarre Tours. In some places Reaumur played a greater role in prodding the intendants for more information Moulins Languedoc or in asking specific questions from the start Amiens. Some reports seem somewhat fanciful or just plain unreliable. In short the level of detail the subjects treated and the implications of the questions both asked and answered varied widely but there is literally something for almost everyone interested in these themes and this period somewhere in this volume." - Jeff Horn book review The Society for French Historical Studies vol. 9 2009 pp. 174-175.

New. $495. "Thomas Ashe published in 1614 the first detailed subject-matter index of the Year Books statutes and early treatises and nominate case reports of English common law. For more than a century English lawyers had been able to use printed abridgements that lumped the growing body of English case law under 251 263 or 394 headings in alphabetical order. This still left them searching among what might be hundreds of case excerpts under a single heading. Ashe's two-volume work which he titled Promptuarie ou Repertory Generall de les Annales listed or cross-referenced citations to these legal sources not only under 759 headings but also under at least 22527 subheadings. No one had previously dissected the whole of English common law in such a thorough orderly manner. Ashe produced a magnificent finding aid for England's early common law. He cited Year Book cases that had been categorized in none of the abridgements. But because he did not provide excerpts from his sources under his thousands of topical headings and subheadings only citations and because the wording of his subheadings avoided definitive statements of law Ashe and his Promptuarie have been far less well known than the earlier and later abridgements and the digests and legal encyclopedias that have succeeded them." --David J.

As frequently used and cited by lawyers as the abridgments of Fitzherbert and Brooke Rolle used subheadings to further refine the classification of common law. "Rolle marks a new departure in the literature of abridgments. The older abridgments had simply digested Year Book cases under alphabetical headings. Their great defect was the heterogeneous character of the entries collected under each alphabetical head. . Rolle's Abridgment to some extent remedied this defect--each topic was divided.into separate headings. But what distinguishes it more markedly from the abridgments of the older type is the fact that it is more than a digest of case law. It contains summaries both of Parliamentary records and of statutes; And therefore it comes nearer than the old abridgments came to being a digest of the whole law. For both these reasons it was long a model to future makers of abridgments. . Hale's Preface is a valuable historical summary of the development of the common law up to the time of the Restoration.": Holdsworth A History of English Law V:376-77.
