Originally published: London: William How 1588. xxxvii iii-xxvii new introduction xiv 151 leaves total 364 pp. Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2013. With a new introduction by Steve Sheppard William Enfield Professor of Law University of Arkansas School of Law. ISBN-13: 9781616192495; ISBN-10: 1616192496. Hardcover. New. $49.95 "From this work Shakespeare is supposed to have acquired some of his legal knowledge" Sweet & Maxwell I: 166. In his introduction Sheppard addresses longstanding academic speculation as to whether Shakespeare learned law from Fraunce. Written in 1588 The Lawiers Logike is the first legal treatise to apply the tools of logic to legal argument. This was a controversial and new concept at the time because its thesis contrasts with common law and its unmethodical and disorganized approach to law. Its influence is still felt. It is a unique work in which Fraunce castigates "lazy lawyers" and mixes illustrations from poetry and prose with often quite technical illustrations from law treatises and case reports. In his introduction Steve Sheppard points out that this "work informs three fields of American law - the study of legal analysis and argument the intersection of law with other disciplines and the moral justification of law itself." Introduction iii. "Abraham Fraunce's The Lawiers Logike 1588 was the first attempt to theorise English law within a structure provided by humanist dialectic and rhetoric." -- Mark D. Walters Cambridge Law Journal 67 2008 360 Abraham Fraunce 1559-1592 attended St. John's College Cambridge enrolled in Gray's Inn in 1583 and was called to the bar in 1588 before Christopher Yelverton and Francis Bacon. In addition to his law practice he was a noted poet having been a classmate and protege of Philip Sidney Edmund Spenser's patron. unknown books

The two titles bound together as issued; second title has its own half-title but pagination is continuous. Includes Appendix "The English Press and the Prosecution." Two works the first a satirical play the second a scholarly essay attacking British censorship laws and the suppression of public speech. The University Press sometimes calling itself the "Watford University Press" was a project of Rowland de Villiers a freethought and free-speech activist and publisher of controversial literature who has been described by one historian as "a somewhat shady character at best" see Odin Dekkers J.M. Robertson. Lon:1998. Villiers was most famously the British publisher of Havelock Ellis's treatise on sexual inversion; he was arrested on obscenity charges in 1901 and died in police custody. "G. Astor Singer" appears to have been a Villiers pseudonym and we would not be entirely surprised if "Frederick Raymond Coulson" was an alias as well. The University Press, Ltd unknown books

ISBN-13: 9781584773504; ISBN-10: 1584773502. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Francis Lieber 1798-1872 was a prominent political philosopher and who helped lay the foundation for the study of political science in the United States. Renowned for his theory of civil liberty which combined an appreciation for the English concept of decentralized political institutions that protected the rights of the individual with the German idea of an overall national purpose he bridged the intellectual gap between Europe and America. A Prussian scholar and political activist who was imprisoned twice in Germany for his liberalism he was one of the first university-trained scholars to emigrate to the United States. A scholar of wide interests beyond law and politics he published studies on economics statistics education and penal reform and produced and edited the Encyclopedia America the first work of its kind published in the United States. He became professor of history and political economy at South Carolina College and was later appointed to the same chair at Columbia College. In 1865 he moved to Columbia Law School where he was renowned for his contributions. Dictionary of American Biography VI: 236-237. "There have been earlier studies of the career of Francis Lieber but this book will rank as the definitive biography. The author has not only exhausted the archival material and the voluminous correspondence between this extraordinary German emigre scholar and the hundreds of men whom he knew during his sojourn in America from 1827 to 1872 but he used them to produce a very readable account of Lieber's career and political and social philosophy."

ISBN-13:9781616190286; ISBN-10:1616190280. Paperback. New. $22.95 This book originated as a series of lectures presented at Johns Hopkins in 1915. It proposes a method to supplement the established doctrine of constitutional law which enforces legislative norms through negation and review by a system of positive principles that would guide the making of statutes and give more definite meaning and content to the concept of due process. Highly regarded since its original publication in 1917 and the winner of Harvard Law School's Ames Prize in 1919 it went on to become a standard work. It was recommended to cite two examples in Roscoe Pound's Introduction to American Law 1919 and Arthur Vanderbilt's Studying Law 1945.

These efforts reached fruition between 1020 and 1025 in the Decretum of Burchard Bishop of Worms. The next great step was taken in 1151 with Gratian's Concordia Discordantium Canonum or Decretum Gratiani a watershed compilation that superseded earlier collections. The Libre Quinque Decretalium of Gregory IX followed in 1234. Published in 1298 the Liber Sextus of Boniface VIII was the last great collection of the pre-Reformation era. John XXII added the final collection the Liber Septimus Decretalium better known as the Clementinae in 1317. Three more texts were added later: the Extravagantes of John XXII 1325 the Extravagantes Communes of other popes to 1484 and the Appendix Pauli Lancellotti 1563. This body of writings assumed the collective title of the Corpus Juris Canonici. Between 1580 and 1582 they were revised by the Correctores Romani a commission established by the Council of Trent. Its edition remained the law of the Western Church until the promulgation of the Code of Canon Law in 1917 which remains the current law of the Roman church. Published from 1879 to 1881 Friedberg and Richter's critical edition one of the great philological projects of the nineteenth century remains the standard version of this work. EMIL ALBERT FRIEDBERG 1837-1910 was a professor of law at the University of Leipzig and a supporter of state supremacy in ecclesiastical matters. He wrote several important works including Die Geschichte der Zivilehe second edition 1877 Verfassungsgesetze der Evangelisch-Deutschen Landeskirchen 1885 and Lehrbuch des Katholischen und Evangelischen Kirchenrechts fifth ed. unknown books

Law and the Modern Condition: Literary and Historical Perspectives. xv 266 pp. Clark New Jersey: Talbot Publishing 2013. ISBN-13: 9781616193911. ISBN-10: 1616193913. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Using fiction as a lens through which to view particular developments in the law these essays by Friedman Dargo and Spivack discuss works of literary fiction - some classical the tale of Ruth in the Bible the fiction of Franz Kafka and Herman Melville the plays of William Shakespeare some modern the post-September 11 fiction of William Gibson Ken Kalfus Claire Messud Ian McEwan and Helen Schulman - concerned directly or indirectly with the historical development of the law. This exploration of legal history through fiction pays particular attention to its relevance to our present circumstances and our growing concerns about terrorism and civil liberties. Each essay considers the legal lessons about the fictional event or events at its core lessons that tell us something worth remembering as we continue to chart law's evolution. These lessons like those that may be found in all great literature necessarily extend beyond the historical confines of the characters and plot and background of each story to embrace the modern condition - which as these great stories suggest is and always has been the only condition. "These provocative scholarly essays range from the Bible to a look at how tomorrow's technology may influence fundamental social organization with many startling stops in between - Lady Macbeth Kafka Napster and post 9/11 fiction to name a few. Friedman's choices help the reader view the transit of law and culture through novel sometimes unforgettable dimensions."-- Michael Meltsner Matthews Distinguished University Professor Northeastern Law School and author of The Making of a Civil Rights Lawyer. unknown books
