Eternal Platonic truths versus the Sophists of individual preferences medieval Realists against Nominalists natural lawyers of the 17th and later centuries Montesquieu and other Enlightenment thinkers fighting through principles and personhood. These and many more figures and ideas come alive in this comprehensive survey of the antecedents of our modern legal system. "This is a magisterial book written by a magisterial man John Ecklund and his wife and editor Dr. Constance Cryer Ecklund. The subject scope and depth of the book seem to flow naturally from the man I was privileged to know in New Haven and at Yale for decades. On first meeting most people would be struck by John's physical presence he was tall then by his civility and then by his great intellect and thoughtfulness. He served Yale and New Haven as few others have. This excellent book is a living legacy that I hope will educate generations to come about the philosophical and historical antecedents of our system of law which remains one of America's greatest assets." --Senator Joseph I. Lieberman. JOHN E. ECKLUND 1916-2000 a lifelong student of legal history was a 1938 graduate of Yale College and 1941 graduate of the Yale Law School. At the Law School Mr. Ecklund was named the case editor of the Yale Law Journal. He graduated cum laude.

The extensive appendices contains complete translations of the Code of Hammurabi and the Assyrian and Hittite codes. Recommended by Roscoe Pound in the Outlines of Lectures on Jurisprudence 5th. ed. 233. "Professor Smith traces the history of the Hebrew law as it is found in the Pentateuch. He repudiates the Mosaic origin of the contents of the Old Testament with the exception of the primitive Decalogue the authorship of which he does ascribe to Moses. He discusses the Covenant Code the Deuteronomic Code Ezekiel's Code the Holiness Code and the Priestly Code; and he presents a new translation of the Code of Hammurabi the Assyrian Code and the Hittite Code thus bringing together in one body the records of the legislation of all the great peoples of Western Asia. A vivid background is thus afforded for the study of Hebrew law." --Louis E.

Beard's first book in which he points out that the office of the justice of the peace was originally a creation of the Crown traces the struggle of the office to establish its independence. "It was the King's Peace that after many ages swallowed up every other 'peace' and it is as a phase of the prolonged struggle for mastery between the principle of centralized administration and the principle of local independence that we must view the evolution of the office of Justice of the Peace. This is well brought out by Dr. Beard and he is especially clear in tracing the long series of tentative steps and experiments that led up to the final establishment of the office by the statute of 1360."

We are indebted primarily to theologians for their appearance either because Grotius figured prominently in theological discourse at various periods after his death or because his legal writings were espoused by dons dedicated to the cause of peace who considered the Grotian contributions to the law of nations to be a constructive step in the direction of a more peaceful world community."-- William E.
