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

Smyth sewn original style tan cloth bound hardcover with red and black gilt stamped spine labels. New. $85.

Black undertakes a systematic analysis of the constitutional basis of income taxation the historical development of the income tax in Anglo-American jurisprudence and the emerging effort to delimit the concept of taxable income under federal and state regimes. Issued at a moment when both statutory framework and judicial interpretation remained unsettled the work constitutes one of the earliest comprehensive attempts to impose doctrinal coherence on the new taxing power. Its argument reflects though without polemic the prevailing Progressive-era confidence in federal authority as an instrument of economic regulation.

In other words the author shows the principles whereon the successive steps of taxation rest whatever may be the particular language of any statute respecting the same.
