Originally published: London: Stevens and Sons Limited 1904. vii 164 pp. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584771692; ISBN-10: 1584771690. Hardcover. New. $22.95 The Preface describes the work as "a rapid survey of a wide field." The book is also interesting for the essay "The Vocation of the Common Law" based on an address to the Harvard Law School Association June 25 1895 in which Sir Pollock calls for a reciprocal legal arrangement between the judges of the United States and Great Britain when merited by an important matter at hand. He compares the legal relationship of Great Britain and the United States to that of Great Britain and British India. His argument concludes "There is no reason why we should not live in hope of our system of judicial law being confirmed and exalted in a judgment-seat more than national in a tribunal more comprehensive more authoritative and more august than any the world has yet known." p. 21 With an appendix giving a summary view of Anglo-Saxon law before the Norman Conquest. Sir Frederick Pollock 1845-1937 was one of the greatest British judges and legal scholars of his day. His treatises on contracts jurisprudence the common law and other subjects did much to clarify and systematize English law. Several of these were standard texts that went through several editions. He is also remembered for his collaboration with F.W. Maitland on The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I and his correspondence with Oliver Wendell Holmes which was published posthumously as The Holmes-Pollock Letters. He was educated at Trinity College Cambridge and admitted to the Bar in 1871. He taught at the University of Oxford from 1883-1903. unknown books

Translated From the Original French by Mrs. Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren. Originally published: Lancaster: Inquirer Printing and Publishing Company 1874. xvii 19-288 15 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584774020; ISBN-10: 1584774029. Hardcover. New. $95. With a preface by James A. Garfield. Like Tocqueville the Marquis de Chambrun 1831-1891 was fascinated by the United States and its government. He also shared Tocqueville's belief that the United States is a testing ground for the forces shaping the modern world. Chambrun's study of the federal government's executive branch offers a number of interesting observations. He doubts the value of the vice-presidency and argues that quadrennial elections promote liberty by creating momentary periods of political instability. He offers equally interesting observations on such topics as the Civil War the impeachment of President Johnson and the relationship between the Executive Legislative and Judicial branches. unknown books

ISBN-13: 9781584771883; ISBN-10: 1584771887. Hardcover. New. $39.95 Hilliard 1806-1878 was a New England lawyer and prolific legal writer whose works set the standard for later law texts. "At the time that he wrote judges and lawyers lacked legal treatises which cited American decisions and showed how far the English common law had been followed by American courts or modified to suit new conditions. Textbooks presenting cases from all states were needed in order to encourage the development of national judge-made law rather than particularistic local doctrines. Hilliard was one of the first and most voluminous of the authors who met these needs." DAB V:53. His vast legal knowledge is aptly employed in this important early textbook which provides a summary of the basic principles of American law. His success with this first work which went into a second edition led Hilliard to go on to write numerous other well-regarded treatises many of which went into numerous editions including The Law of Torts 1859 the first English treatise on the subject.
