Devoted entirely to the bench and bar he had neither the time nor inclination to write essays or treatises. In order to locate the principles that guided his juristic thinking then it is necessary to look at other sources. This is Oster's approach. He assembles a wide selection of letters speeches miscellaneous writings and excerpts from decisions and arranges them thematically with narrative commentary. A useful guide to Marshall's ideas it also has the character of an intellectual biography. unknown books
