It addresses a clerk's duties the relationship between clerks and attorneys ways to work more effectively and other practical matters. Wright is also interested in the clerk's intellectual development. To this end he recommends a rich curriculum of jurisprudential political historical and literary works and encourages the study of old court hands and Latin. Like his predecessors Wright dispenses a good deal of moral advice as well. Equally fascinating and charming this treatise offers a rich perspective on English clerks during the early nineteenth century. unknown books

New. $29.95 Reprint of the ninth edition the best and final edition with full-size plates. Law-French and Latin were falling out of use by the time they were finally abolished in England by statute in 1733. These languages and their conventions had become esoteric by the time Wright's volume appeared. Written by a member of the last generation to master them in the course of his legal education it was intended to be a kind of Rosetta stone for the contemporary barrister and scholar. Long a standard work this reference went through ten editions by 1912. The ninth edition is preferred because it has better plates derived from copper engravings rather than photostats. It remains an indispensable guide when consulting early charters deeds or records. unknown books

These three volumes collect most of the political judicial and literary writings of Levi Woodbury 1789-1851 an important New Hampshire jurist and statesman. Appointed by President Polk to fill the vacancy created by the death of Joseph Story he was an associate justice in the Taney Court from 1846 to his death in 1851. He usually sided with the majority during his tenure but his strong sympathy for states' rights provoked occasional dissents. He was generally proslavery and usually supported the majority's decisions on the contract clause. Although his influence was minimized by his brief tenure he was admired for his acute legal mind and sound reasoning. This reissue of his writings gives us a fine opportunity to reevaluate the assessment of his peers and enrich our understanding of the Taney Court. unknown books

Reprint of the third edition. It was common during the eighteenth century to promote the study of Roman and comparative law for its liberalizing effect on the student of the common law. Wood's New Institute was the best attempt to promote this goal. It went through four editions in 1704 1712 1721 and 1730 and was the standard Anglo-American treatise of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and a well-thumbed reference for jurists who wished to add an element of civilian learning to their work such as Joseph Story. Wood also considers its role as an auxiliary to English law. As the title suggests it is not only a summary of Roman law adapted to the needs of students of English law but also a pioneering essay in comparative law. Wood pays some attention as well to Roman law's influence on the historical development of English law. Indeed he observes that "Fleta and Bracton would look very naked if every Roman lawyer should pluck away his sic feathers" ix. unknown books

Wood's Institute was the only treatise until the publication of Blackstone's Commentaries to furnish a comprehensive view of the common law. It was "the most important and the most popular of his books. It was written he tells us to supply the want of a methodical book on English law which could be put into the hands of students in the Inns of Court and the Universities." Holdsworth HEL XII:419. Blackstone recognized the books considerable merits. "Upon the whole" he said "his work is undoubtedly a valuable performance; and great are the obligations of the student to him and his predecessor Finch for their happy progress in reducing the elements of law from their former chaos to a regular methodical science. unknown books

Married women to be capable of holding property and of contracting as a feme sole.' to '27. Short title.' A document of considerable historical significance. Scarce: no copies located on COPAC.<br/><br/>The Married Women's Property Act 1882 45 & 46 Vict. c.75 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that significantly altered English law regarding the property rights of married women which besides other matters allowed married women to own and control property in their own right. English law defined the role of the wife as a feme covert emphasizing her subordination to her husband. Upon marriage the husband and wife became one person under the law as the property of the wife was surrendered to her husband and her legal identity ceased to exist. Any personal property acquired by the wife during the marriage unless specified that it was for her own separate use went automatically to her husband. Women were often limited in what they could inherit. Males were more likely to receive real property land. The Married Women's Property Act 1882 altered the common law doctrine of coverture to include the wife's right to own buy and sell her separate property.8 Wives' legal identities were also restored as the courts were forced to recognize a husband and a wife as two separate legal entities. unknown books
