Originally published: New York: Oxford University Press 1906. xiii 326 pp. Reprinted 2008 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584778868; ISBN-10: 1584778865. Hardcover. New. $27.95 This is a useful introduction to Roman law with a level of detail that falls midway between an outline and a textbook. Carefully organized it is also an excellent reference guide. "To begin with it is quite comprehensive for there is not a single principle of Roman law sufficiently important to be included in first-year study which the author has omitted. Legal principles and definitions are very concisely stated and a lecturer on the subject will be glad to find an important rule given in such brief almost epigrammatic form that it can be readily committed to memory. . Another good feature is the practice of frequently citing the original Latin phrases and sentences. Lastly the translator has provided a good index which is a valuable addition to the original work. We are sure that many teachers of Roman law will welcome this book as a manual to be placed in the hands of their students.": Columbia Law Review 7 1907 377-378. unknown books

ISBN-13: 9781584770084. ISBN-10: 1584770082. Hardcover. New. $27.95 "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.

Stephen 1829-1894 explores English law exclusive of penal actions of offences punishable by summary proceedings before magistrates and of special offences intended as sanctions for special statutory institutions but including all other acts commonly known as crimes. In a discussion of a later edition Holdsworth observed: "it was probably the best modern history of a particular branch of English law that had yet appeared in England. It won high praise from Pollock and Maitland. Though the more intensive study of the earlier history of our law has rendered some parts of it obsolete it is still the best history of the later stages of the law. And it has another merit which it can never lose. The fact that its author was a practising lawyer and a judge gives to his account of many parts of the law and especially to his analysis of famous trials the reality and vividness which comes of practical experience.": The Historians of Anglo-American Law 77-78. unknown books

New. $27.95 Stimson wrote this study in response to the rapid development of constitution law that took place around the turn of the century which he attributes to the social impact of modern industrial capitalism. He notes that the enormous volume of cases regarding "obligation of contract" and "commerce among the states" indicates a general shift in the field from cases dealing with the federal constitution or individual state constitutions to cases involving several constitutions. This book was conceived as a guide to this new terrain. It continues to be an excellent comparative study of the federal and state constitutions. It is more that a series of comparisons however. As its title suggests Stimson includes a history of the provisions in each constitution and their origins. "A Valuable piece of work.in the field of legal and constitutional investigation."

Unlike Adams he rejects the concept of "a natural aristocracy" of "paper and patronage" and a federal government based on a system of debt and taxes. He considers the American government to be one of divided powers responsible to the sovereign people alone. Opposed to the extent of power awarded to the executive office he calls for shorter terms for the president and all elected officers.

In 1831 Alexis de Tocqueville 1805-1859 and Gustave de Beaumont fl.1835 traveled through the United States on behalf of the French government to study American prisons which were renowned for their progressive and humane methods. They were pleased to accept this assignment because they were intrigued by the idea of American democracy. Tocqueville and Beaumont spent nine months in the country traveling as far west as Michigan and as far south as New Orleans. Throughout the tour they used their social connections to arrange meetings with several influential Americans in the worlds of politics law business social reform and the arts. Tocqueville recorded his thoughts on the structure of the government and the judicial system and commented on everyday people and the nation's political culture and social institutions. His observations on slavery in particular are impassioned and critical. These notes formed the basis of Democracy in America.
