Three lectures by the Harvard Law School professor examine legal positivism and natural law. In the course of his analysis Fuller discusses Kelsen's theory as a reactionary theory and Hobbes' theory of sovereignty. He defines legal positivism as the viewpoint that draws a distinction "between the law that is and the law that ought to be" and interprets natural law as that which tolerates a combination of the two. He looks at the effects of positivism's continued influence on American legal thinking and concludes that law is necessary in a democracy as a principle of order. LON L. FULLER 1902-1978 was a professor at Harvard Law School and is remembered for his contributions to the law of contracts. His debate with H.L.A. Hart in the 1958 Harvard Law Review Vol. 71 is noteworthy because it provided the framework for subsequent debates about legal positivism and natural law. unknown books

Fullerton 1865-1945 was an American journalist who lived in Paris. A well-traveled sophisticated man he was respected for his penetrating insights and graceful prose. Problems of Power his finest work argues that international law and Realpolitik lost their hold on the conduct of international relations around 1870. Contemporary affairs since then were determined by a fear of political weakness resulting from cultural and spiritual decline. Fullerton's argument that this fear was provoked by the global economy and that it encouraged nationalism protective economic measures and a fervent desire to repel foreign influences remains relevant today. unknown books

New. $24.95 This essay praises Dickens's detailed knowledge of the law legal community and unfair features of the legal system of his day. "I have barely tapped the legal mine of interest in Dickens. I have but glanced at some of the more outstanding aspects of the subject and the more outstanding personalities. . Some of Dickens' lawyers are eccentric and some commonplace; some are dry-as-dust some very human; no two of them are alike and each is typical of a class to be found in the legal profession in the present day just as in the time of Dickens. That by his writings Dickens drew public attention to some of the cruel features of the law as it existed in his day especially as regards imprisonment for debt and that his writings were a powerful factor in removing or softening hard features of the judicial system there is no doubt. But there are anomalies and evils denounced in his books still unremedied. There is yet a wide field open to the Dickens student in the judicial aspect of Dickens' works and my aim has been accomplished if I have been able in some degree to flash a little light upon this undeveloped mine of interest and in some small measure to create as regards the attitude of Charles Dickens to the law a desire on the part of others to inquire further into a subject so teeming with interest" 78-79. unknown books

Originally published: Troy: From the Press of N. Tuttle 1844. xii 13-315 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584774556; ISBN-10: 158477455X. Hardcover. New. $95. Gardner 1799-1863 was an attorney who practiced in Troy New York and a local politician who held several minor municipal offices in that city. The first part of this remarkable work argues that international law needs to return to its roots in natural law revealed in Scripture. Two major prejudices are embedded in this argument: the United States has done this and Great Britain will not choosing instead to dominate the oceans through force. The brief second part addresses the "internal jurisdiction of our national government over the states the people of the United States and the Indian tribes possessing a portion of our territory" 269. It dispenses with the theological model of the first section to offer an outline of Federal powers as defined by constitutional law. His analysis of slavery is interesting. Though he clearly despises it Gardner concludes that it cannot be abolished by Congress. He hopes however that the "chivalry of the south" will eventually imitate "Alexander of Russia and nobly set their vassals free" 286. unknown books

Gerard de Rayneval cherished the hope that Napoleon might be inspired by the work to draft a code of maritime law. This treatise informed negotiations that led to the 1856 Declaration of Paris and was widely cited by continental jurists during the 19th century. ".On the Freedom of the Sea is rather amazingly the first 19th Century French text of international law to appear in English and for this he Butler should be applauded." --Jean Allain Journal of the History of International Law 18 2016 372. "Professor William Butler's careful scholarship and clear presentation bring to life an important translation of Gerard de Rayneval's work on the law of the sea a topic of continuing interest to scholars and mariners alike in the 21st century. Professor Butler's detailed introduction and editing of Du Ponceau's translation offer essential background for familiar maritime concepts and adds richness to the body of work explaining the legal regimes surrounding the use of the world's seas." --James W.
