Contents include "The Construction of Tax Laws" "Taxation by Special Assessment" "The Remedies of the State Against Collectors of Taxes" "Local Taxation under Legislative Compulsion" and "The Remedies for Illegal and Unjust Taxation." "The work is not a mere treatise upon tax titles but is rather a profound statesman-like and judicial treatise upon the sources of the power of taxation and the proper subjects upon which it may be exerted as well as the legitimate mode of its exercise. Judge Cooley has discussed the various questions connected with the subject in the light of principle and has presented with clearness and cogency the reasons underlying them as well as the authorities in their support. . In other words the author shows the principles whereon the successive steps of taxation rest whatever may be the particular language of any statute respecting the same. The plan and execution of the work is a happy blending of the philosophical and practical and the book must meet with a general and abiding approval as well as with a cordial and generous reception." -- Western Jurist 10 1876 255.

New. $29.95 Reprint of the first English edition. Cottu 1777- was a counsellor of the Royal Court of Paris and Secretary-General to the Royal Society of Prisons. In 1820 he was sent by his government to observe the English criminal courts. He returned with a vivid description of a system that had changed little since the days of Coke and Pulton. As Langbein describes it "the whole of the criminal trial was expected to transpire as a lawyer-free contest of amateurs. In cases of felony. the prosecution was also not represented by counsel. The victim of the crime commonly served as the prosecutor. In homicide cases either the victim's kin prosecuted or the local coroner stood in. Just as Blackstone summarized the common law on the cusp of its transformation by modern capitalism Cottu described a system of criminal procedure that was about to be transformed into the system we recognize today. This work was originally published in the periodical The Pamphleteer. It was reissued as a book in 1822 with the title On the Administration of Criminal Justice in England. Langbein The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial 11. Cottu is noted as one of Langbein's primary sources. A contemporary 18-page review of the French edition is appended to this work. unknown books

Cowell's book deals with the class of laws observed by members of the Hindu community in India that were recognized under British rule and incorporated into the colonial legal system. These dealt principally with family organization land tenure and succession. A Short Treatise is founded partly on the author's Tagore Law Lectures of 1870 and 1871 and partly on lectures addressed to the students of the Inns of Court in 1893. It dates from a time when Anglo-Hindu law was a mature system that had attained its highest level of sophistication. unknown books

Indeed Walker describes Cowell 1554-1611 as "reputed the most learned civilian of his time." But its publication sparked enormous controversy. At a time when Parliament and crown were vying for power the Commons disapproved of Cowell's monarchical orientation which was evident in such definitions as "King" "Parliament" "Prerogative" "Recoveries" and "Subsidies." When a joint committee of Lords and Councillors reviewed the work the ensuing controversy nearly halted the affairs of government. James I intervened in fear that his own fiscal interests would not be approved by the Parliament and ordered a proclamation that imprisoned Cowell suppressed the book and ordered all copies burned by a public hangman on March 10 1610. Moreover The Interpreter contained a quotation that criticized Littleton's scholarship which alienated and enraged Sir Edward Coke. It comes as no surprise that he was instrumental in the book's suppression and in Cowell's persecution. Walker The Oxford Companion to Law 311. unknown books

Coxe's main argument is that the "Constitution contains express texts providing for judicial competency to decide questioned legislation to be constitutional or unconstitutional and to hold it valid or void accordingly" 4. There are four subordinate arguments: First that the framers of the constitution specifically granted the courts the power to hold a law unconstitutional by dint of the Supremacy Clause and by Article III Section 2 defining judicial power. Second that documents written before the constitution were influential in framing the text and establishing the idea of judicial review. The third looks at the era before and during the confederation with an eye toward the court's power to rule on constitutionality. The fourth argument finds analogies and precedents in foreign law including Roman and Canon law. unknown books

Crane observes "a veritable chaos" in sources defining the concept of the state in constitutional and international law. This is the problem he addresses. After subjecting definitions of the state to a rigorous analysis he concludes that "the state as a constitutional concept is composed of elements different from those which make up the concept of the state in international law" 10. The rest of the book explores the significance of this distinction and its utility for political theory. unknown books

The Court of Star Chamber was established by the Crown in 1487 to try offences dealing with the safety of the state before a council. Its scope expanded over time to include a wider array of criminal matters and a limited number of civil matters such as suits between corporations and prize cases. In its final years the court was infamous for cruelty arbitrary nature and illegal extensions of power. It was abolished in 1641. Crompton's L'Authoritie et Iurisdiction des Courts de la Maiestie de la Roygne 1594 is one of the best sources we have today about the court system of his day. Star-Chamber Cases was derived from this treatise. As W.S. Holdsworth points out "it is the book of a common lawyer to whom details as to the procedure and the jurisdiction of the court are more interesting than large questions as to its position in the state or its legal title to exercise jurisdiction." Despite its "somewhat haphazard organization "it is a useful collection of concrete facts and instances put together.from statutes abridgments year books law reports books of entries legal test books chronicles and his own experiences": History of English Law V:166-67. unknown books
