"Professor Plucknett has such a solid reputation on both sides of the Atlantic that one expects from his pen only what is scholarly and accurate.Nor is the expectation likely to be disappointed in this book. Plucknett's book is not.a mere epitome of what is to be found elsewhere. He has explored on his own account many regions of legal history and even where the ground has been already quartered he has fresh methods of mapping it. The title which he has chosen is in view of the contents of the volume rather a narrow one. It might equally well have been A Concise History of English Law.In conjunction with Readings on the History and System of the Common Law by Dean Pound.this book will give an excellent grounding to the student of English legal history."

Majority Rule and the Judiciary: An Examination of Current Proposals for Constitutional Change Affecting the Relation of Courts to Legislation. With an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1912. xx 183 pp. Reprinted 2008 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584777793. ISBN-10: 1584777796. Hardcover. New. $34.95 Ransom's book is grounded in the Progressive movement's belief that courts are a barrier to positive social change. In order to break this barrier he argues for the application of the "due process" clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution which is also incorporated in several state constitutions to all decisions by state courts affecting the general welfare of citizens such as labor and consumer protection. By granting enforcement power to legislatures the instrument of "majority rule" reforms within a state may be secured against intervention by its judiciary. Interesting for its insights into legislative-judicial relations during the early 1900s it rehearses several points that would recur in Franklin Roosevelt's battles with the U.S. Supreme Court over parts of the New Deal. unknown books
