"The Law Military has undergone many changes in this country since the year 1860. Some of these changes have been of a radical character introducing many new features into the administration of military jurisprudence. The relation of the military to the civil power has also during the same time received much attention. These considerations would of themselves abundantly explain the raison d'etre of a new work on military law. It supplies a want that has long been felt. But besides this military law has grown in importance more persons being affected by it and powers having been vested in military courts which they have never held before. That this is felt to be the case is shown by the increased facilities for acquiring it which the government affords him. At the U.S. Military Academy a professorship and an assistant professorship have been established for this purpose. . Ives' treatise is intended as a text-book in a course on military law as well as for use throughout the army; and in my opinion he has met with marked success in adapting it to his purposes.": From the Preface by Guido N. Lieber Professor of Law at West Point and the son of Francis Lieber. Ives 1849-1881 was an artillery officer and Assistant Professor of Law at West Point. unknown books

In the decades before the Civil War this classic treatise was required reading for practitioners scholars and law students. Martin an attorney and printer in New Bern North Carolina later a distinguished leader of the New Orleans bar gained distinction for this translation. Known as a source of the French Civil Code 1804 and for its influence on British contract law this treatise led Pothier to write others based on Roman and French law. Marvin quotes and endorses Sir William Jones's assessment of Pothier's treatises and their influence on common law: "For my own part I am so charmed with them that if my undissembled fondness for the study of jurisprudence were never to produce any greater benefit to the public than barely the introduction of Pothier to the acquaintances of my countrymen I should think that I had in some measure discharged the debt which every man according to Lord Coke owes to his profession."

In Holdsworth's estimation this study first published in 1858 "has had a large influence on the later development of the subject. It owes the qualities which have given it this influence to the fact that Westlake combined his knowledge of the civilians with that of an English lawyer. He was able to use the technical learning of continental jurists and to apply it with discrimination in the very different technical atmosphere of English law" History of English Law XV:314. One of the field's greatest scholars Westlake 1828-1913 was Whewell Professor of International Law at Cambridge a founding editor of the Revue de Droit International et de Legislation Comparee and a founding member of the Institut de Droit International. unknown books

A conservative jurist known for his important study A Treatise on the Limitations of Police Power in the United States Considered from Both a Civil and Criminal Standpoint Tiedeman 1857-1903 completed this work at a time when the spirit of social and economic laissez-faire of the Gilded Age was giving way to demands for greater degrees of governmental regulation in response to the emergence of modern corporate capitalism and especially the rapid growth of Socialism Communism and Anarchism. For Tiedeman the fundamental issue is the need to control these groups in the interests of public order while preserving their rights of self-determination as guaranteed by the Constitution. He was optimistic that popular faith in the Constitution is strong enough to maintain this delicate balance. unknown books

Hardcover. New. $295. Reprint of the first edition. Beale's treatise ranks with Williston on Contracts and Wigmore on Evidence as one of the undisputed classics of twentieth-century American law. In fact Jerome Frank claimed in Law and the Modern Mind that it may be the best legal work produced in his lifetime 48. The reasons for its importance are summarized nicely in an early review: "Originally the plans of the Institute called for treatises to accompany the black-letter text of the Restatements and this was at the start the plan for the Conflict of Laws. For reasons which seemed to the authorities of the American Law Institute decisive this plan for accompanying treatises was abandoned relatively early. Instead therefore of a treatise bearing the quasi-official imprimatur of the Institute we now have Professor Beale's own treatise. . We can.be sure that the doctrines here set forth represent the mature convictions of the most distinguished student of the subject in America one who has devoted a life time to its study. . In the first place it contains the most exhaustive collection of the American cases on the conflict of laws ever made. In the second place it gives us the matured conclusions of the outstanding American student on the subject conclusions arrived at and expressed in the prevailing philosophy of the legal profession. In the third place it gives us in useable form the needed commentary upon the various sections of the Restatement without which it would be difficult if not impossible to know in many cases just what is meant or upon what authority the 'restatements' are made.": Walter Wheeler Cook Columbia Law Review 35 1935:1154-1162. unknown books
