Haines' colorful history of the Supreme Court surrounding the John Marshall years gives particular attention to the "local particularist and democratic" principles Introduction p.4 that Haines an ardent Jeffersonian believed were neglected in favor of a conservative and nationalistic viewpoint found in earlier histories of the Court. He shows that the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall established the doctrine of judicial review as part of a Federalist effort to strengthen the central government and goes on to discuss attacks upon the Court and the decline of authority and prestige of the Court. In his description of the Court's major decisions he examines the issue of state versus national sovereignty and the status of common-law principles in the federal courts. He includes a discussion of opinions regarding the Dartmouth College case and the trial of Aaron Burr. Haines was a political scientist and professor of Political Science at the University of California at Los Angeles for twenty years.

First published at Paris in Latin 1625 The Rights of War and Peace laid the foundations of the modern system of public international law. Grotius addresses situations in which war is a legitimate instrument of law enforcement and outlines principles for the lawful use of armed force. Based on a Christian understanding of natural law Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid even if a divine basis were lacking. He pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. This fourth or fifth English translation 1814 is by Archibald Colin Campbell 1763-1842.

This is considered to be the "best edition" of a landmark work on law and government by Hugo Grotius 1535-1645 Lowndes Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature Rev. ed. III 950. First published in Paris in 1625 it established the system of modern public international law based on the concept of "droit naturel" a morality-based law that superseded the personalities of individuals or nations. These ideas influenced the American Revolution whose leaders often cited Grotius. This edition features the notes of J. Barbeyrac described by Marvin as desirable. In his research William E. Butler has determined "In the absence of evidence to the contrary on the balance of probabilities it seems plausible that the entire 1738 version including the Barbeyrac notes may be attributed to John Morrice alone inclusive of any adjustments he may have made to the original contributions of his associates to the 1715 version."

Though they suffered discrimination the English Jews enjoyed a measure of toleration and enjoyed royal protection. Their situation changed drastically during the reign of Edward I. After a period of intense persecution they were banished in 1290. They were not allowed to return until the time of the Commonwealth and Restoration when they were gradually readmitted. Henriques discusses the statutes and cases relating to this period and reconstructs this complex chapter in English history. unknown books

This edition is also noteworthy for the inclusion of Coke's complete prefaces. Sir Edward Coke 1552-1643 was considered to be the greatest legal practitioner of his day. Written between 1572 and 1616 The Reports are not reports in the conventional sense but highly detailed anthologies of precedents organized according to the cases they consider. In each instance Coke assembled a large body of cases outlined their arguments and explained the reasons for the judgment using it as a basis for a statement of general principles. They are in effect a series of treatises on the points of law adjudged and not merely notes for citation. Taken together The Reports form the most extensive and detailed treatment of Common Law pleading that had yet appeared. A work of immense authority it was often cited as The Reports there being no need to mention the author's name. His accounts especially of pleadings were applauded for both their clarity and usefulness as stylistic models for students. And his selection of cases cited frequently in subsequent years has served as the starting point for numerous decisions. He also attracted some powerful enemies however principally James I who was angered by some of his opinions concerning royal prerogative.

Meigs 1852-1929 established his reputation with pioneering research on the antecedents of the American doctrine of judicial review. Much of his later work traced the doctrine's subsequent history. The Relation of the Judiciary and the Constitution is a summary of this scholarship as well as a summary of work by other scholars who developed areas uncovered by his research. Although it is primarily a history Meigs's study has a secondary agenda: to show how "the noisy minority" of an unchecked judiciary "leads the country.to launch out on evil ways" 10. In this regard he anticipated the viewpoint of conservative critics today who denounce judges who "legislate from the bench. unknown books

New. $49.95 "Bruce Wyman's treatise on administrative law The Principles of the Administrative Law Governing the Relations of Public Officers 1903 provides the first development in American legal thought of the idea that the primary grounds of administrative legality are the internal practices and procedures that agencies adopt to structure their own exercise of discretion as opposed to the standards and forms of judicial review. Wyman's conception was remarkable for its day. At the end of the nineteenth century many scholars including Wyman's colleagues at Harvard Law School identified law with judicial decisions. But Wyman writing a mere three years after his graduation from and subsequent appointment to the faculty of Harvard Law School did not focus on 'the external law of administration' imposed by courts but rather mined 'internal administrative law' created by agencies as the 'real subject' of inquiry and source of administrative legality." --Kevin M.

"Burlamaqui formulated the principles of popular sovereignty of delegated power of a constitution as a fundamental law of a personal and functional separation of powers into three independent departments. and finally he provided for an institutional guardian of the fundamental law" Harvey. Burlamaqui's other great achievement was to put Pufendorf's theories into systematic form. Marvin stated a general opinion when he observed that "his works are deservedly held in high esteem."
