New. $25.95 "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.

Frequently citing classical sources with his own translations he describes in impressive detail such things as curious trials and the rights and obligations of counsel. Chapter headings include: The Athenian Courts; Advocacy in Ancient Rome; The Bar under the Empire and in the Middle Ages; The Noblesse de la Robe; The Honorarium; ad Forensic Casuistry.

Originally published: New York: Columbia University 1891. 89 pp. Reprinted 2005 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775744; ISBN-10: 1584775742. Hardcover. New. $25.95 A Comprehensive History of the Tariff System in the United States Goss shows that the tariff system assumed one of three forms during its history that often existed simultaneously: protective preventive and punitive. From an ineffective colonial system that allowed importers to avoid payment through extended credit arrangements to a somewhat less troubled system that demanded immediate cash payments in the early 1840s to a punitive system designed to stymie smugglers during the Civil War the collection of tariff duties was always problematic. This problem became more acute in the wake of industrialization and protectionism a period when direct taxes began to supplant indirect taxation as the major source of government finance. Reviewing the history of American tariff regulation Goss discerns a gradual process towards "more stringent supervision regulation and control" 88.
