New. $15.95 "The modern assailants of judicial power will find little comfort in this volume. It consists mainly in a clear and able presentation of convincing evidence that the power of the courts to override laws repugnant to the spirit of the Constitution was directly contemplated by the framers of that instrument. It is apparent that the author has made a careful study of the Federal Convention of 1787 and in the state ratifying conventions that followed. He does not rest his case here but proceeds with a discussion of other evidence in support of his position.": P.R.B.

The author in order that Biblical law may be of easy access-has extracted the many commandments precedents and customs which are to be found throughout the sacred writings and has sought to present them logically and systematically in the style of a modern law book." -- Preface v. unknown books

ISBN-10: 1616190825. Paperback. New. $16.95 Published in 1797 The Philosophy of Law Rechtslehre stands as one of the most significant late works by the great Prussian philosopher. Though he lived in an atmosphere of political and social repression it is evident that Kant 1724-1804 was sensitive to the revolutionary spirit that was spreading throughout Europe in the wake of Napoleon's armies. Claiming that man is born with reason and an innate desire for freedom he argued that the union of these natural gifts could bring about a new sense of order and harmony in future generations. This edition also reprints Kant's later Supplementary Explanations 1797 which was added to the second edition 1798. unknown books

New. $16.95 "The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience." Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. "Max Radin is the rare and finished product of our American legal system. He is skilled in the semantics of the law. But unlike some legal scholars and some judges too he does not use semantics to make law a facile thing to fit the idiosyncrasies of the author or to satisfy the moods of the moment. The law which he fashions is flavored with an earthy quality of function and practicality. He is quick to sense the enduring values of the democratic system and to see the law as the vehicle for their perpetuation." -William O. Douglas 36 California Law Review 163 1947-1948. "Mr. Radin is too good a logician to accept the popular antithesis between logic and experience as contraries white and black or as contradictories white and not white. Rather logic and experience are viewed as divergent directions in analysis. The shape of anything that lies within the field of law may be described therefore in terms of distances from 'our ordinate of logic and our abscissa of experience.' Upon this framework Mr. Radin proceeds to analyze the various compounds of logic and experience that constitute law evidence arbitration punishment and justice. --Felix S. Cohen 54 Harvard Law Review 711 1940-1941. MAX RADIN 1880-1950 received his LL.B. from New York University in 1902 and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1909. He was a law professor at the University of California Berkeley and UC-Hastings School of Law and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.
