Domat's Civil Law is a great work that combines the materials of Roman and French law into a single system and places it on a foundation of ethical principles. "The Civil Law in its Natural Order considering the age and the circumstances in which it was written is a truly wonderful performance. His method is excellent and his matter clear exact and comprehensive. Pothier and other continental jurists have drawn largely upon him to assist their own labors" Marvin. Holdsworth says this edition is better than Wood's incomplete 1705 translation. "Strahan's translation.is a very much more considerable book both as a book on Roman law and by reason of the translator's notes as a book on comparative law.": Holdsworth History of English Law XII:428.

2019686562019. ISBN-13: 9781616195847 ISBN-10: 1616195843. Donlan Sean Patrick and Vernon Palmer. Legal Traditions in Louisiana and the Floridas 1763-1848. xxxv 297 pp. 10 illustrations. Clark New Jersey: Talbot Publishing an imprint of The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2019. ISBN-13: 9781616195847. ISBN-10: 1616195843. Hardcover. New. $75. This collection focuses on the period from 1763 through the mid-nineteenth century. In Louisiana and the Floridas the territorial ambitions of Britain France and Spain as well as the United States led to a rapidly shifting series of political and cultural changes. The result in the region was the creation of complex hybrids of social mores customs and legal ideas and institutions. Of particular significance were the land claims that inevitably followed transfers of sovereignty and legal systems the social and legal entrenchment of established elites and the institution of slavery as well as a legacy of extra-legal violence and folk justice. The fluid borders of Louisiana and the Floridas both East and West exposed the flexible social identities and political loyalties of those who were settled there. Indeed later accounts of the period and place have often misunderstood mixed motives and contemporary rhetoric of its subjects and citizens. Through a mix of different historiographical methods a broad understanding of legal and social history and the lens of plural comparative contexts this collection tells us much about continuity and change in a critical transition period for the region as well as for the modern Western nation-state and its increasingly common laws.

Grandson of Founding Father Elbridge Gerry who signed the Declaration of Independence Dowling's extensively illustrated biography of Gerry highlights the influence of his family and its links to other prominent New York families the Gallatins Goelets and Livingstons. This biography of Gerry is also the story of Gilded Age New York when the glamorous society balls that provided entertainment to wealthy New York families such as the Astors and Vanderbilts belied their philanthropic contributions in the Progressive era. Gerry built the first steam yacht the Electra which became the flagship of the New York Yacht Club while he also sat on hospital boards and founded the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children which still operates today. As Dowling shows Gerry's brilliance and passion was at the heart of it all. With this book SHELLEY L. DOWLING has won the Joseph L.

2006417662006. ISBN-13: 9781584775935; ISBN-10: 1584775939. Drage Geoffrey Translator. The Criminal Code of the German Empire. London: Chapman and Hall 1885. xv 365 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775935. ISBN-10: 1584775939. Hardcover. New. $45. The German Criminal Code Reichsstrafgesetzbuch was ratified by the newly-formed German Empire on 16 April 1871. It is a remarkable work of synthesis drawn mostly from the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina 1532 the Code Napoleon 1804 Feuerbach's Bavarian Criminal Code 1813 and the Prussian Penal Code 1851 which was influenced by the Code Napoleon. Its value lay not just in its establishment of uniform federal law but as Drage notes in his excellent commentary in its catholicity of historical and contemporary sources. Drawing on the idea of German unity underscored in this case by the consensus-forming might of Prussian arms the criminal code remained in force despite various efforts at reform until the triumph of National Socialism. unknown books
004286Brussels. Paper folder. Very Good Plus. N.d. circa 1910. 36 by 22 cm. Folio of eight pochoir illustrations all depicting elegantly appointed women decked in furs. The women are all on the move or active in some way -- these are illustrations meant to show how the garments work in their lifestyle. There is nothing static about the pictures. They bring to mind the breezy boulevard depictions of artists such as Sem with the difference that these portraits aren't caricatures. The fashions hark from a period in which beauty and elegance was the hallmark of high fashion while some of the shackles imposed by fashion were being loosened -- women could go out in the world on their own to a degree seldom the case a generation earlier. Jean Droit was a French and Belgian artist and writer who excelled at book illustration. He is better known for his depictions of wartime and warfare and he incidentally played an instrumental role in the scouting movement. This collection produced early in his prolific career is scarce -- we have been able to locate no other copies -- and each of the plates would be very appealing matted framed and hung on a wall. <br/><br/> unknown books

These and many more figures and ideas come alive in this comprehensive survey of the antecedents of our modern legal system. "This is a magisterial book written by a magisterial man John Ecklund and his wife and editor Dr. Constance Cryer Ecklund. The subject scope and depth of the book seem to flow naturally from the man I was privileged to know in New Haven and at Yale for decades. On first meeting most people would be struck by John's physical presence he was tall then by his civility and then by his great intellect and thoughtfulness. He served Yale and New Haven as few others have. This excellent book is a living legacy that I hope will educate generations to come about the philosophical and historical antecedents of our system of law which remains one of America's greatest assets." --Senator Joseph I.

First published in 1771 this important treatise reached its third and final edition in 1775. "The first person to review English criminal law at once critically and comprehensively was William Eden. His book is a pioneer treatise. It discusses topics which under the influence of Bentham and Romilly aroused much attention in the last years of the eighteenth and the first years of the nineteenth century; and it discussed them effectively because as the author says in his closing chapter he had tried to establish his principles not as abstract propositions 'but rather as argumentative inferences interwoven with and to be collected from observations on the penal systems of different governments. . The conclusion which he draws that the reform of the English penal code 'is become an important and almost necessary work' is irresistible. . The book is a remarkable precursor of that new era of agitation for the reform of the law which under Bentham's leadership was soon to begin" Holdsworth.

"The last section `Woman' is illustrative of the utility of this anthology. Its selection of texts from the two testaments forms a corrective to the notion that the alleged inferiority of the place of woman in life is to be debited to the Old Testament alone. The citations to her status are taken entirely from the New Testament. . . . The merits of the book in fact are outstandingly the admirable anthology of text which it provides in easily accessible form and the useful Introduction . . ." --Bertram B.
