105927Dublin: Edwin Sandys for John Hyde Bookseller in Dame’s Street. MDCCXVIII 1718. Small 8vo 76 1 ads pp. Disbound lacking half-title top edge trimmed with occasional loss of page numbers. § First published the previous year in London. One of three pamphlets William Law 1686-1761 contributed to the "Bangorian controversy" which erupted in 1717 when the bishop of Bangor Benjamin Hoadly delivered a sermon before the king in which he denied that the church had any doctrinal or disciplinary authority. In the war of words that ensued some 50 writers issued over 200 pamphlets. Law contributions in defense of church authority did much to bring him to public notice for the first time. A Practical Treatise upon Christian Perfection 1726 and A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life 1729 stern manuals for self-regulation and Christian conduct brought him some fame and the admiration of John Wesley among others though the two later quarreled. His later life and writings were strongly influenced by the German protestant mystic Jacob Boehme who was also an influence on William Blake. ESTC T172224. Edwin Sandys unknown books

Prepared for Use as a Text-book in Harvard Law School. Originally published: Boston: Little Brown & Co. 1871. xvi 1022 pp. Reprinted 1999 2014 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584770015; ISBN-10: 1584770015. Hardcover. New. $49.95 The landmark work that introduced the revolutionary idea of the "case system" to legal education which Langdell 1826-1906 instituted in his position as Dean at Harvard law School. A response to the European educational practice of the expository textbook as the basis of study Langdell invented herein the use of original authorities to teach legal principles in his classes at Harvard. He posted lists of leading cases on the bulletin boards or announced them in class beforehand. The students prepared for class by going to the library taking down the reports and studying them. The process was both injurious to the library collection and inconvenient for the students. It was very soon apparent to Langdell that having done away with the traditional textbook the law library was not a satisfactory alternative. No library had or could afford the number of duplicate volumes of the court reports that were required so that all students could have easy and equal access to the cases. Langdell's solution was the casebook. This innovation in legal education publishing led to the proliferation of casebooks that continue today. Walker Oxford Companion to Law 714.
