Hardcover. New. $175. Edited by his son of the same name 1855-1891 the first volume being a memoir by his brother the author George Ticknor Curtis 1812-1894 the second containing selections from his writings. Benjamin Robbins Curtis 1809-1874 an eminent Massachusetts jurist was appointed to the United States Supreme Court in 1851 where he achieved his greatest fame in 1857 by his dissenting opinion in the Dred Scott case. Curtis argued in a lengthy opinion that residence of a slave with his owner in free territory conferred freedom that the slave could vindicate on his return to slave territory. He claimed also that the Court could not try the case because a slave was not considered a citizen. After resigning his seat after a series of acrimonious disputes about the case with Chief Justice Taney he achieved eminence as an attorney one who was esteemed for his dignity coolness and clear logical mind. Indeed he was considered one of the leaders of the American Bar arguing fifty-four cases before the Supreme Court and eighty before the supreme court of Massachusetts. The impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson in which he served as the president's leading counsel was perhaps his finest hour. Many considered his opening statement for the defense to be his greatest forensic effort. The second volume consists of reprints of his articles and a selection of his addresses and judicial statements. See Dictionary of American Biography 610-611. 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

Although intended as a simplification of terms and created for the young lawyer this is by no means a dictionary merely for the novice. Whishaw included French Latin and English words and phrases as well as "obsolete words" from "old legal historical and antiquarian writers" and cited early law books and dictionaries in the entries Cowell Blount Hale's Pleas of the Crown etc. This dictionary went into a later edition in 1832.

"This four-volume work was the culmination of an 18th-century bloodline that began in 1729 with the appearance of Giles Jacob's New Law-Dictionary which appeared in 11 editions through 1782. Jacob started a new genre: the law dictionary that was also an "abridgement"--that is an alphabetically arranged restatement of the whole law subject by subject. . His four-volume set as ultimately published has remained one of the most obscure law dictionaries ever. Copies are extremely rare today: few libraries even at the institutions that have specifically built up their holdings in law dictionaries possess one. I for example was never able to examine a copy until the page proofs of this reprint were made available to me. My guess is that no more than 100 were printed. Fewer than a dozen copies are known to exist. The book has therefore received scant attention." --From the Introduction by Bryan A. Garner. unknown books

Reprint of the fifth edition which was the last published during the author's lifetime. As Cowley pointed out the New Law-Dictionary first edition 1729 was both Jacob's masterpiece and "an entirely new departure in legal literature" that provided a model for several subsequent efforts. In contrast to earlier works each entry summarizes all of the laws relating to the subject and offers extensive interpretive commentary. Jacob 1686-1744 was also careful to omit obsolete terms. It was recognized almost immediately that Jacob had created a highly useful legal encyclopedia that was both more detailed and concise than any other abridgment of the period. An extremely popular work that went through twelve editions by 1800 it offers unparalleled insights into Anglo-American law during the eighteenth century.

Yet Another Diversion for Lawyers and Others. Clark New Jersey: The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2005. xiii 450 pp. ISBN-13: 9781584776314; ISBN-10: 1584776315. Hardcover with dust jacket. New. $45. Described by David Pannick QC in the Times January 17 2006 as "one of the great works of legal literature of our times." Should horses in Charleston be required to wear diapers Does the 'hotchpot' rule apply when dividing a testator's 17 residuary elephants Which verse in the Old Testament was the life-saving 'neck verse' May sexual intercourse be conducted on a 'without prejudice' basis These questions and many others like them are raised but not always fully answered in A New Miscellany-at-Law. This follows the same style as its two predecessors but consists of entirely new material some of it suggested by the readers of the first two volumes. Like them it collects accounts of strange and remarkable cases striking court-room exchanges wise and witty utterances from the Bench and much else that illumines the law. For the common law world its reach is global with many riches from the USA; and Scotland is not forgotten. Although the book is primarily for lawyers a glossary and explanatory footnotes enable non-lawyers to share in the humour. Some may read the book from cover to cover; but for most there will be the pleasures of browsing often surprisingly prolonged. A New Miscellany-at-Law also includes many other jewels. There is the touching Conveyancer's Ode to His Beloved the court's refusal to consider whether trespassing bees should be classified as invitees licensees or trespassers a deplorable account of a wife being part-exchanged for a Newfoundland dog the future Lord Denning's reference to a wife who 'was actually committing adultery while denying it in the witness box' and 'fustum funnidos tantaraboo' in Chancery.
