Written between 1604 and 1605 De Jure Praedae On the Law of Prize which remained in manuscript until 1868 is the earliest significant legal work by Hugo Grotius 1583-1645. His discussion of prize is not restricted to issues of legality; he seeks to determine also whether the capture of enemy material is honorable or expedient. He pursues these issues through an elegant argument based on natural law.

Mare Liberum 1609 is based on one of its chapters. It also contains an early version of De Jure Belli ac Pacis 1625. In this regard the book offers a valuable introduction to the issues explored in these later works. Appended to this reprint is Robert J. Fruin's valuable essay An Unpublished Work of Hugo Grotius's. Written in 1868 and later republished in English in 1925 it remains the principal study of this work. Hugo Grotius 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. His other works include De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace 1625 one of the great treatises on international law and Mare Liberum The Freedom of the Seas 1609 a compelling plea for free trade among nations. unknown books

Parker 1853. xxxix 485 pp. Reprinted 2011 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781616191511; ISBN-10: 1616191511. Paperback. New. $24.95 Reprint of the sole edition of this abridged translation. In this momentous work Grotius describes the situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines the principles of armed combat. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. This edition was abridged by removing most of the quotations from "ancient historians orators philosophers and poets" which are identified in footnotes. As Whewell states in the preface they tended to "confuse the subject obscure the reasoning and weary the reader." By removing them he enhanced clarity and reduced the bulk of the work by "more than a half" vi. Originally published in 1625 De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace translated by Whewell as On the Rights of War and Peace is widely considered to be the first modern treatise on international law.

New. $24.95 "The distinguished English historian Professor Holdsworth has contrived even during his moments of recreation to render us his debtors. No two books outside the bounds of technical law are more worth reading for law students than Pickwick Papers and Bleak House. Even a trained trial lawyer however is puzzled by some of the legal points brought up by Dickens because they have fortunately passed forever out of the realm of living law. Professor Holdsworth has performed a valuable service to lawyers and laymen alike in explaining these obscurities. And he has done much more than this. He has increased our admiration for the genius of Dickens by proving his great merit as a legal historian.": Zechariah Chafee Jr. Harvard Law Review 42:286-8. unknown books

New. $24.95 Intended as an introductory treatise for law students this treatise serves as an excellent introduction and a useful reference. And as one would expect from a book co-written by Holdsworth 1871-1944 it goes beyond the law of his day to analyze its historical development. In addition to a valuable introductory chapter on the history of succession the authors enrich their discussion in the main text with observations on the ways its principles developed over time in response to particular conditions. Their functionalist view which owes much to Maitland's example enabled them to create a sophisticated text that avoids the pitfalls of contemporary formalistic and "scientific" treatises. unknown books

New. $24.95 Examines an important and complex period in the history of the laws and customs devised by merchants to regulate their relations with each other and the changes in the law merchant and in negotiable instruments in colonial New York during the years 1664 to 1730 in the context of New York's commercial place in the British Empire. "Economic influences and legal theory combined to form the New York law of negotiable instruments during the colonial period. That the legal theory was an amalgam of Dutch civil law and elementary English common law serves to complicate the situation. Furthermore the unsettled nature of the judicial system during the seventeenth century made consistent legal development fortuitous at best and haphazard at its worst. This fluid state of economic and legal development is as fascinating in its complexity as it is baffling in its inconsistency." Introduction 3. "This brief study of the law of merchant and bills of exchange has as its background a fascinating era of legal history. Changing legal institutions and patterns of trade were typical of these early years. For the student of history as well as the legal scholar these developments are of great significance for they are the basis for the future growth of the law and the commercial supremacy of the province of New York."

New. $24.95 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
