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

Originally published: Berkeley: University of California Press 1967. x 356 pp. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775782; ISBN-10: 1584775785. Paperback. New. $36.95 Second revised and enlarged edition a complete revision of the first edition published in 1934. A landmark in the development of modern jurisprudence the pure theory of law defines law as a system of coercive norms created by the state that rests on the validity of a generally accepted Grundnorm or basic norm such as the supremacy of the Constitution. Entirely self-supporting it rejects any concept derived from metaphysics politics ethics sociology or the natural sciences. Beginning with the medieval reception of Roman law traditional jurisprudence has maintained a dual system of "subjective" law the rights of a person and "objective" law the system of norms. Throughout history this dualism has been a useful tool for putting the law in the service of politics especially by rulers or dominant political parties. The pure theory of law destroys this dualism by replacing it with a unitary system of objective positive law that is insulated from political manipulation. Possibly the most influential jurisprudent of the twentieth century Hans Kelsen 1881-1973 was legal adviser to Austria's last emperor and its first republican government the founder and permanent advisor of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Austria and the author of Austria's Constitution which was enacted in 1920 abolished during the Anschluss and restored in 1945. The author of more than forty books on law and legal philosophy he is best known for this work and General Theory of Law and State. Also active as a teacher in Europe and the United States he was Dean of the Law Faculty of the University of Vienna and taught at the universities of Cologne and Prague the Institute of International Studies in Geneva Harvard Wellesley the University of California at Berkeley and the Naval War College.

From boyhood days on I have sought to discipline my own mind pen and tongue. And throughout my service on the Law Faculty I have sought to discipline the minds pens and tongues of the students. I have never suffered fools gladly and regard such sufferance as mischievous. Therefore `Spartan Education' seemed an appropriate title. As I review my life I find the source of greatest satisfaction in my belief that there are today ten thousand men who are leading more useful and successful lives than they would be leading if my Spartan training had not played a substantial part in the molding of their minds; and that most if not all of them now recognize that to be the fact and are grateful." -- Preface ix Edward H. Warren 1873-1945 was a legendary professor at Harvard Law School.

ISBN-10: 1616194669. 8-1/2" x 11." Paperback. New. $39.95 A comprehensive reference that includes a useful English-Latin law glossary and an extensive bibliography centered on English-language publications that covers all of the dictionary's topics. A formidable research tool. "This dictionary is intended to meet the needs of the student with little or no knowledge of Roman law or indeed of Latin. It seeks to provide a brief picture of Roman legal institutions and sources as a sort of first introduction to them. A very large number of brief-usually very brief-entries provide explanations of Roman legal terms civil and criminal and summary accounts of the sources. This is a formidable task to undertake single-handed and Dr. Berger is to be congratulated on the great learning and thoroughness with which he has carried it through. . The extensive bibliographies at the end of each entry of any substance are intended for the advanced reader who will find them invaluable though sometimes where the subject covered is wide he will wish they were classified. . The works ends with a remarkable general bibliography listing some fifteen hundred works under headings ranging from the main divisions of the law to 'Christianity and Roman Law' and 'Roman law in non-juristic sources.' This last is particularly valuable." -- Barry Nicholas 44 Journal of Roman Studies 1954 160. "The publication of Mr. Adolf Berger's encyclopedic dictionary of Roman law is a very important accomplishment in the recent history of American legal scholarship. The American legal world owes him homage for putting at its disposal the scholarship of twentieth-century European Romanism or indicating the entrances thereto." -- Mitchell Franklin 28 Tulane Law Review 1953-1954 412. unknown books
