Looking back at this work in a letter from 1811 Jefferson commended it for correcting De l'Esprit des Lois. While other studies "nibbled only at its errors" he told his correspondent this work rebutted them "with a depth of thought precision of idea of language and of logic which will force conviction into every mind.

While working as the American editor of Maxwell's On the Interpretation of Statutes 1875 Endlich uncovered numerous discrepancies between English and American practice. Transforming the work to focus more carefully on American law Endlich was instrumental in exposing the varieties of judicial interpretation. Notable for an exhaustive discussion of the permutations courts must adopt to reconcile the practical realities of cases with the static letter of the law the work remains invaluable as a catholicon for those who insist on the imposition of a single standard. unknown books
