Putnam's Sons 1887. ix 203 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 978-1584774372; ISBN-10: 1584774371. Cloth. $75. The Kentucky Resolutions anonymously authored by Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826 were adopted by the Kentucky legislature in 1798. Written to oppose the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts they initiated a debate about the respective powers of the federal government and states. The most remarkable claim advanced by the resolutions was that states had the right to nullify federal legislation. A key text for advocates of states' rights the resolutions had a profound effect on the debates that led to the Civil War. Dudley a Kentucky attorney provides a lively account of their history. In contrast to other authors which tend to focus of Jefferson Dudley emphasizes the central role played by John Breckinridge the leading member of the Kentucky House of Representatives. Indeed this book which draws extensively on his papers remains the principal study of Breckinridge's influence on the resolutions. unknown books

Baltimore: John Murphy & Co. 1895. vi 259 pp. Reprinted 2003 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584773528; ISBN-10: 1584773529. Hardcover. New. $19.95 Reprint of first edition. Mary Surratt was the first woman tried and executed by the United States. She owned and ran a boardinghouse in Washington D.C. where John Wilkes Booth and other conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln often met. She was tried and convicted of complicity in Abraham Lincoln's assassination and hanged on July 7 1865. Though current scholarship indicates otherwise many writers have portrayed her as an innocent victim of a vengeful military tribunal that did not have the right to try her for her involvement in the assassination plot. Two events supported this view. One was the 1866 Supreme Court decision Ex parte Milligan which invalidated the authority of military courts to try civilians in places where civil courts were functioning. Ambiguity concerning military and civil authority in Washington D.C. in 1865 raised questions about the legality of her trial. The other event was the trial of her co-conspirator son John Surratt before a civil jury in 1867 two years after her death. Surratt's testimony was similar to that of his mother. When his trial ended in a hung jury it seemed to many that the military court had executed an innocent woman. unknown books

New. $49.95 Reprint of the rare first edition. The Interpreter was considered to be the best law dictionary until Jacob's and was and still is used by scholars of early English legal texts. Indeed Walker describes Cowell 1554-1611 as "reputed the most learned civilian of his time." But its publication sparked enormous controversy. At a time when Parliament and crown were vying for power the Commons disapproved of Cowell's monarchical orientation which was evident in such definitions as "King" "Parliament" "Prerogative" "Recoveries" and "Subsidies." When a joint committee of Lords and Councillors reviewed the work the ensuing controversy nearly halted the affairs of government. James I intervened in fear that his own fiscal interests would not be approved by the Parliament and ordered a proclamation that imprisoned Cowell suppressed the book and ordered all copies burned by a public hangman on March 10 1610. Moreover The Interpreter contained a quotation that criticized Littleton's scholarship which alienated and enraged Sir Edward Coke. It comes as no surprise that he was instrumental in the book's suppression and in Cowell's persecution. Walker The Oxford Companion to Law 311. unknown books

New. $49.95 A title in the series Foundations of the Laws of War Joseph Perkovich General Editor. This volume explores the complex relationship between international law and civil war through six essays on the American Civil War the Spanish Civil War the Algerian Revolution and conflicts in the Congo Yemen and Vietnam. The current rash of civil wars seems to result both from the vulnerability of so many states to domestic violence and from the willingness of so many other states to promote or exploit this vulnerability for reasons of ideological solidarity political expansion national security or human compassion. Thus the kind of civil war that is most important to the maintenance of international order involves the interplay of interventionary diplomacy and domestic instability. International lawyers are deeply divided as to the wisdom of intervention policies but they are agreed as to the imperative need for the international community to concur on rules of conduct that will prevent this escalation of local conflicts. The International Law of Civil War is the result of a special project sponsored by The American Society of International Law designed to shed light on patterns in civil war situations and bring into focus the policy problems that arise from the interplay of domestic violence and external participation. Emphasis is placed on the facts and law of external participation on behalf of either or both contending factions; the role of international institutions; the patterns of adherence to the laws of war by the parties to the conflict; and the patterns of settlement by which the violence was ended and order restored. The book highlights the essential features of typical civil war situations through six case studies: The American Civil War 1861-65 by Quincy Wright International Legal Aspects of the Civil War in Spain 1936-39 by Ann Van Wynen Thomas and A.
