New. $44.95 Reprint of the fifth final and best edition. "Professor Plucknett has such a solid reputation on both sides of the Atlantic that one expects from his pen only what is scholarly and accurate.Nor is the expectation likely to be disappointed in this book. Plucknett's book is not.a mere epitome of what is to be found elsewhere. He has explored on his own account many regions of legal history and even where the ground has been already quartered he has fresh methods of mapping it. The title which he has chosen is in view of the contents of the volume rather a narrow one. It might equally well have been A Concise History of English Law.In conjunction with Readings on the History and System of the Common Law by Dean Pound.this book will give an excellent grounding to the student of English legal history.": Percy H.

One of the most gifted of America's founding fathers Dr. Benjamin Rush of Pennsylvania not only signed the Declaration of Independence but also utilized his keen powers of observation to describe most of his fellow delegates to the Second Continental Congress. His character sketches thus complement later descriptions that William Pierce of Georgia drafted of delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. In addition to describing Rush's own optimistic hopes for the new republic which were later tempered by his concerns over the early direction of American politics this volume utilizes Rush's letters and other writing to examine his relationship with other key participants especially John Adams and Thomas Jefferson and discusses his own proposals for education and prison reform.
