Translated From the Original French by Mrs. Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren. Originally published: Lancaster: Inquirer Printing and Publishing Company 1874. xvii 19-288 15 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584774020; ISBN-10: 1584774029. Hardcover. New. $95. With a preface by James A. Garfield. Like Tocqueville the Marquis de Chambrun 1831-1891 was fascinated by the United States and its government. He also shared Tocqueville's belief that the United States is a testing ground for the forces shaping the modern world. Chambrun's study of the federal government's executive branch offers a number of interesting observations. He doubts the value of the vice-presidency and argues that quadrennial elections promote liberty by creating momentary periods of political instability. He offers equally interesting observations on such topics as the Civil War the impeachment of President Johnson and the relationship between the Executive Legislative and Judicial branches. unknown books

Originally published: Tahlequah I.T.: National Advocate Print 1881. vi i-vi new introduction 370 vi pp. Reprinted 1998 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. With a new introduction by Michael Weber. ISBN-13: 9781886363427. ISBN-10: 1886363420. Smythe sewn hardcover with gilt stamped front cover and spine. New. $34.95 This volume provides a unique legal and historical record. It is an exact reprint of an 1881 compilation originally published by the Cherokee National Council of "the laws of the Cherokee Nation now in force." These laws -- the 1839 constitution of the Cherokee Nation and the basic laws passed under it -- provided the framework for the government of the Cherokee Nation from 1839 until the early 1900s when the Cherokees' independence was ended by the United States Congress. Within scarcely more than a generation the Cherokees consciously transformed themselves from being a society that lived under an age-old unwritten set of norms and traditional cultural practices to one governed by a written constitution and code of statutes. The Cherokees made this transformation in the vain hope that it would make it easier for them to live peacefully surrounded by the United States. They closely modeled their constitution in most respects on the United States Constitution. Yet there are some fascinating differences concerning the judiciary and land ownership. Contained in this volume are the Cherokees' 1839 constitution along with amendments to it necessitated by the 1866 treaty between the Cherokee Nation and the United States; the 1838 Act of Union between the Eastern and Western Cherokees; numerous basic laws and miscellaneous acts covering a huge variety of subjects from the duties of the principal chief to the killing of game; agreements between the Cherokees and the Creeks and Osages Delawares and Shawnees; and an appendix containing documents relating to the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation as defined by agreements with the United States. unknown books

2006437102006. ISBN-13: 9781584776369; ISBN-10:1584776366. The First American Treatise on the Law of Contracts Chipman Daniel. An Essay on the Law of Contracts for the Payment of Specifick Articles. Originally published: Middlebury Vt.: Published by the Author 1822. xvi 17-224 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584776369. ISBN-10: 1584776366. Cloth. New. $65. Reprint of the uncommon first edition. Chipman's Essay was the first original treatise on the subject written in the United States. Verplanck's An Essay on the Doctrine of Contracts 1825 was the second. In his Legal Bibliography 1847 Marvin criticized Chipman for "showing what the law of contracts ought to be rather than what the law of contracts is" 189. This remark indicates Marvin's failure to grasp the changing nature of contract law and it shows that Chipman's ideas were ahead of their time. Indeed as Horwitz points out Chipman was the first American to submerge the "dominant equity theory of contract in a conception of contractual obligation based exclusively on express bargains" determined by market values. Chipman 1765-1850 was a Vermont lawyer a professor of law at Middlebury a representative to the state legislature and the U.S. Congress and a delegate to several Vermont constitutional conventions. unknown books

A Treatise on the Law of the Prerogatives of the Crown; and the Relative Duties and Rights of the Subject. Originally published: London: Printed for J. Butterworth and Son 1820. xv 500 pp. Reprinted 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781616190651; ISBN-10: 1616190655. Paperback. New. $39.95 Reprint of the first edition. Chitty addresses the body of customary authority privileges and immunities belonging to the Crown. An intricate vaguely defined field with medieval roots it has entailed a wide range of matters from the regulation of the civil service to the supervision of resident aliens and the granting of honors. This treatise was highly regarded when it was first published. For example Petersdorff's Lectures on the Theory and Practice of the Laws of England 1829 said it was "A valuable work." Although the scope of royal prerogatives was rather narrow in the 1820s and has diminished further since then this treatise has retained its value and is often cited today. Chitty 1796-1838 was one of the greatest legal authors of the nineteenth centuries. His treatises on contracts and criminal law were standard works in Great Britain and the United States. unknown books

With an understandable emphasis upon British legislation the work first addresses rules of customary international law and treaties and legislative materials which affect foreign and domestic commerce.

New. $24.95 An essential study of the work of U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan. John Marshall Harlan 1833-1911 wrote numerous dissenting opinions on everything from civil rights to the federal income tax during his long tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was said at the time to suffer from "dissent-ary" but posterity has shown him to be a liberal born too soon since many aspects of his dissents gained majorities after his death. We see this most clearly in his blistering dissents in the Civil Rights Cases 1883 and Plessy v. Ferguson 1896. On a broader scale his interpretation of "due process" contributed to the development of the incorporation theory during the 1950s and 60s. Viewed as a whole his emphasis on the social consequences of decisions rather than adherence to abstract legal principles pointed the way toward the work of Pound and Llewellyn. Clark offers an excellent introduction to Harlan's doctrines regarding civil rights the suability of states impairment of the obligation of contracts interstate and foreign commerce judicial legislation and other topics that is valuable for its balance of summary and interpretation. It continues to be an essential study of Harlan's judicial beliefs. unknown books

Originally published: Princeton: Princeton University Press 1973. xii 233 pp. Reprinted 2005 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584776611; ISBN-10: 1584776617. Hardcover. New. $29.95 Athens was the dominant maritime power in the West from the eighth to fourth centuries BCE. Athenian preeminence insured that its maritime law was accepted throughout the Mediterranean world. Indeed its influence outlasted Athens and is the only area of classical Greek law that wasn't replaced entirely by Roman models. Codified during the Roman period in the Rhodian Sea Laws it went on to influence the subsequent development of European commercial and maritime law. Using both ancient and secondary sources Cohen explores the development of Athenian maritime law the jurisdiction and procedure of the courts and the Athenian principles that have endured to the present day. He successfully treats the much-discussed problem of why they were termed "monthly" and describes how "supranationality" was a feature of all Hellenic maritime law. He goes on to show how their jurisdiction was limited ratione rerum not ratione personarum because a legally defined "commercial class" did not exist in Athens at this time. Classicists and lawyers alike will find this a fascinating study that shows how certain principles of Athenian maritime law are still imbedded in the modern international law of maritime commerce. Cohen has made a unique and substantial contribution to our understanding of the Athens of Plato Aristotle and Demosthenes. unknown books
