New. $49.95 "From this work Shakespeare is supposed to have acquired some of his legal knowledge" Sweet & Maxwell I: 166. In his introduction Sheppard addresses longstanding academic speculation as to whether Shakespeare learned law from Fraunce. Written in 1588 The Lawiers Logike is the first legal treatise to apply the tools of logic to legal argument. This was a controversial and new concept at the time because its thesis contrasts with common law and its unmethodical and disorganized approach to law. Its influence is still felt. It is a unique work in which Fraunce castigates "lazy lawyers" and mixes illustrations from poetry and prose with often quite technical illustrations from law treatises and case reports. In his introduction Steve Sheppard points out that this "work informs three fields of American law - the study of legal analysis and argument the intersection of law with other disciplines and the moral justification of law itself." Introduction iii. "Abraham Fraunce's The Lawiers Logike 1588 was the first attempt to theorise English law within a structure provided by humanist dialectic and rhetoric." -- Mark D. Walters Cambridge Law Journal 67 2008 360 Abraham Fraunce 1559-1592 attended St. John's College Cambridge enrolled in Gray's Inn in 1583 and was called to the bar in 1588 before Christopher Yelverton and Francis Bacon. In addition to his law practice he was a noted poet having been a classmate and protege of Philip Sidney Edmund Spenser's patron. unknown books

Reprint of the first American edition from the second Tomlins edition 1809. The New Law-Dictionary was first published in 1729 and is "Jacob's masterpiece and constituted an entirely new departure in legal literature the dictionary which is also an abridgment." Cowley p. xci. In contrast to earlier works each entry summarizes all of the laws relating to the subject and offers extensive interpretive commentary. Jacob 1686-1744 was also careful to omit obsolete terms. It was recognized almost immediately that Jacob had created a highly useful legal encyclopedia that was both more detailed and concise than any other abridgment of the period. An extremely popular work that went through twelve editions by 1800 it offers unparalleled insights into Anglo-American law during the eighteenth century. T.E. Tomlin's 1762-1841 edition first published in 1797 is in effect an enlargement and improvement of Jacob's dictionary. Tomlins who in 1797 "remodeled the work and published several more editions in his own name.

It also shows how these relationships determine water rights. This book has three parts: Part One: The Rights of States and Nations examines international rights and constitutional and statutory rights. Part Two: Rights Between Public and Individual includes the public use of waterways municipal water supply drainage and rights of navigation. Part Three: Rights Between Individuals discusses the rights of riparian owners in watercourses such as the right to dam a stream. Reprint of the sole edition. "The author has properly divided the general subject of waters so as to show the rights depending on these different relations and not as is the usual method of division on the mere characteristics of the body of water on or about which a particular right arises. As a general rule it is believed the production of legal works of large scope should be discouraged. With the exception of a few notable treatises the legal works covering broad subjects are now of little use to the practising lawyer. His needs are best met by the book which embraces a small field and in that field gives to the cases and principles a profound and careful examination and discussion. Mr. Farnham's comprehensive treatise must be regarded as a clear exception to the general rule.": J.M.B. Jr. Harvard Law Review 18 1904-05:77-78.

The Law of the Federal and State Constitutions of the United States With a Chronological Study of Their Principles a Chronological Table of English Social Legislation and A Comparative Digest of the Constitutions of the Forty-Six States. Originally published: Boston: The Boston Book Company 1908. xix 386 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584773696; ISBN-10: 1584773693. Hardcover. New. $27.95 Stimson wrote this study in response to the rapid development of constitution law that took place around the turn of the century which he attributes to the social impact of modern industrial capitalism. He notes that the enormous volume of cases regarding "obligation of contract" and "commerce among the states" indicates a general shift in the field from cases dealing with the federal constitution or individual state constitutions to cases involving several constitutions. This book was conceived as a guide to this new terrain. It continues to be an excellent comparative study of the federal and state constitutions. It is more that a series of comparisons however. As its title suggests Stimson includes a history of the provisions in each constitution and their origins. "A Valuable piece of work.in the field of legal and constitutional investigation."

New. $24.95 Intended as an introductory treatise for law students this treatise serves as an excellent introduction and a useful reference. And as one would expect from a book co-written by Holdsworth 1871-1944 it goes beyond the law of his day to analyze its historical development. In addition to a valuable introductory chapter on the history of succession the authors enrich their discussion in the main text with observations on the ways its principles developed over time in response to particular conditions. Their functionalist view which owes much to Maitland's example enabled them to create a sophisticated text that avoids the pitfalls of contemporary formalistic and "scientific" treatises. unknown books
