This argument was widely held until the late 1950s when it was gradually undermined by later research much of it stimulated by Beard's work. Although most scholars today see the origins of the revolution in terms of the history of ideas especially republicanism Beard's work remains fundamental and has insured a continued focus on the economic aspect of the nation's establishment as well as a wider awareness of the role of economic interests in history.

New. $24.95 An essential study of the work of U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan. John Marshall Harlan 1833-1911 wrote numerous dissenting opinions on everything from civil rights to the federal income tax during his long tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was said at the time to suffer from "dissent-ary" but posterity has shown him to be a liberal born too soon since many aspects of his dissents gained majorities after his death. We see this most clearly in his blistering dissents in the Civil Rights Cases 1883 and Plessy v. Ferguson 1896. On a broader scale his interpretation of "due process" contributed to the development of the incorporation theory during the 1950s and 60s. Viewed as a whole his emphasis on the social consequences of decisions rather than adherence to abstract legal principles pointed the way toward the work of Pound and Llewellyn. Clark offers an excellent introduction to Harlan's doctrines regarding civil rights the suability of states impairment of the obligation of contracts interstate and foreign commerce judicial legislation and other topics that is valuable for its balance of summary and interpretation. It continues to be an essential study of Harlan's judicial beliefs. unknown books

ISBN-13: 9781616196479. ISBN-10: 1616196475. Hardcover. New. $24.95 Starting in the Victorian Age "Holmes" became a great name. First there was the best-selling essayist and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Then as the 19th century turned to the 20th his son Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. rose to fame as a judge and almost simultaneously Sherlock Holmes rose to fame as a detective. The careers of those three Holmeses and their respective reputations in both literature and in law intertwined over seven decades - from the Civil War in the 1860s to the Supreme Court during the Depression years of the 1930s - as they occasionally influenced or entertained each other and sometimes even shared the public spotlight. The particulars addressed in this little volume cover a remarkable range. There is for example Justice Holmes's longstanding and largely unknown enthusiasm for - and commentary about - detective fiction in general and the Sherlock Holmes stories in particular. Then there is the influence of Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. father of Justice Holmes on Arthur Conan Doyle the creator of Sherlock Holmes. It is also worth mentioning the popularity of Sherlock Holmes among the great Justices of the Supreme Court in the early 20th century. And so on and so on. unknown books

Published in 1693 Wonders of the Invisible World by Cotton Mather is an account of selected trials written at the request of the judges who wished to address claims of impropriety. Though he believed in witchcraft Mather was critical of the judges' conduct when the trials were underway. After reading the transcripts however he concluded that the verdicts rested on ample evidence according to the standards of English and American law. Published in 1700 More Wonders of the Invisible World Or The Wonders of the Invisible World Displayed by Robert Calef attacked Mather's account. Skeptical about the existence of witchcraft he argued for the injustice of the trials and suggested moreover that Mather influenced the judges and public opinion. A well-documented and devastating account it was the first important publication to show that the trials were a miscarriage of justice. SAMUEL F. FOWLER 1800-1888 was a member of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention held in Boston in 1853. He is the author of An account of the life character &c. of the Rev. Samuel Parris of Salem Village and of his connection with the witchcraft delusion of 1692 1857. Fowler's library was recognized for its breadth of works related to witchcraft and American history. COTTON MATHER 1662-1728 the son of Increase Mather took over for his father as Pastor of the Old North Church in Boston in 1685. Mather is known for his founding role in the Salem witchcraft trials.

New. $24.95 This essay praises Dickens's detailed knowledge of the law legal community and unfair features of the legal system of his day. "I have barely tapped the legal mine of interest in Dickens. I have but glanced at some of the more outstanding aspects of the subject and the more outstanding personalities. . Some of Dickens' lawyers are eccentric and some commonplace; some are dry-as-dust some very human; no two of them are alike and each is typical of a class to be found in the legal profession in the present day just as in the time of Dickens. That by his writings Dickens drew public attention to some of the cruel features of the law as it existed in his day especially as regards imprisonment for debt and that his writings were a powerful factor in removing or softening hard features of the judicial system there is no doubt. But there are anomalies and evils denounced in his books still unremedied. There is yet a wide field open to the Dickens student in the judicial aspect of Dickens' works and my aim has been accomplished if I have been able in some degree to flash a little light upon this undeveloped mine of interest and in some small measure to create as regards the attitude of Charles Dickens to the law a desire on the part of others to inquire further into a subject so teeming with interest" 78-79. unknown books

The taxonomically arranged catalogue that accompanied these books was a remarkable work one that offered great insight into the broad and systematic nature of Jefferson's mind. Unfortunately it was lost. Using Jefferson's notes and the first edition of the Library of Congress catalogue Gilreath and Wilson recreated Jefferson's original compilation. It contains an extensive collection of legal books arranged under the general heading "Philosophy." Beginning with the broad designations of "Ethics" "Moral Philosophy" "Law of Nature and Nations" and "Religion" Jefferson proceeds to such topics as "Common Law" "Maritime Law and "Foreign Law." It is valuable both for its insights into Jefferson's legal mind and as a guide to the titles one would want to include in a first-class American law library of the period. unknown books

New. $24.95 Reprint of the first and only edition. Girault asks "what customs regime should control relations between a colony and the colonizing state on the one hand and foreign countries on the other" 3 He proposes two models: the first "jealous exclusion" of others from trade with the colony will likely result in dissension and warfare. The second which Girault attributes to "liberal imperial states" allows the foreigner to trade on the same basis as the colonizer and in the process prepares the colonized peoples for eventual freedom. France Girault maintains tried both in its long imperial history often at the same time. Originally published in the International Peace Economic and History Series of the Carnegie Endowment for International peace this book is notable for its textured historical analysis and its prescient identification of the seeds of colonial collapse. unknown books
