1567171<p>Folio 30.5 x 19.5 cm 10 ff. 307 i.e. 308 13 ff. including woodcut title showing Ferrara and Este arms and full-page woodcut portrait of the printer Rossi on EEEviii v. Bound in 18th-century stiff vellum title stenciled on spine. Some minor staining in scattered leaves and some trivial worming in margin but generally a broad-margined and fresh copy excellent. Rare and most likely the earliest acquirable edition of the municipals laws of Ferrara one of the richest and most cultivated of Northern Italian courts published shortly after the concluding session of the Council of Trent 1563. The work contains one of the earliest portrait of a printer in a book he himself produced see below. The work significantly revises the previous publication of local statutory law and is signed by a committee of local jurists 3v-4r. The statutes govern all aspects of civil and criminal law from the buying and selling of goods and property marriage testaments to criminal procedure. The work is of interest for containing a portrait of the printer. Note: Rossi had no editorial or authorial part in the work; he is expressly designated "Typographus" printer in the identifying legend. This is of interest to historians of the book for it showing the developing confidence and prestige enjoyed by 16th-century printers and is analogous though considerably more assertive to putting an element of the printer's process or trade in a publisher's device. "Rossi was near the end of a career as a printer at Ferrara that covered more than 50 years and certainly justified the use of his portrait in this volume" Mortimer I.261. Although it should be regarded as a form of self-indulgence and did not catch on-as say the author portraits on which it is based obviously did-it nonetheless remains an interesting bit of evidence for the elevated status of Italian printers. There is no repertory of examples and we know of no study of the subject but in querying colleagues we have located only two earlier analogous portraits: Rossi pictured himself in smaller format in the colophon to another book he published: Giovanni Maria Verrato's 1561 response to critics of the Council of Trent: Contra responsiones et protestationes. And Francesco Priscianese pictured himself in a Latin grammar published in 1540. Also Prof. Anthony Grafton draws our attention to the portraits of the illustrators in the Historia Stirpium of Leonhart Fuchs 1542. Further searching would doubtless turn up a few other examples but it is clearly an isolated phenomenon The statutes received an incunable edition in 1476 published by Severino da Ferrara BMC VI.609 the only copy we have been able to locate: this edition is not in Goff and we locate no American copy. The next edition was published by Rossi in 1534 with a less elaborate version of the title cut and without the portrait. The present edition is next making it third. According to Mortimer the hypothetical issue points raised by F. Berlan in his Bibliografia degli statuti municipali ed inediti di Ferrara Rome 1878 pp. 21-7 are in need of substantial copy-checking. There are no copies of the editio princeps or the 1534 edition in America; for the present edition OCLC lists Kansas Minnesota and the Waseda Library to which should be added the Harvard copy described by Mortimer.

Comstock presents a history of income taxation from the colonial period to the modern era an assessment of the efficacy of the various systems and a model tax system. More than a survey it shows how federal and state governments used the elastic nature of income taxes to meet a variety of economic and social needs which led to an "aggregation of examples of possible income tax methods rather than the development of an American income tax policy. No two state income taxes are alike even in their essentials" 11.

Launspach barrister and member of the Inner Temple argues that in its "infancy and adolescence" early Rome was "a conscious imitation of the ancient Gens or ancient Family that its theory of government was founded upon the relations existing between kinsmen and that these again were determined by religious notions which later became transformed through developments with the City and external influences" Foreword v. The early state was neither a democracy nor an autocracy because its roots were neither purely economic nor political. When expansion and internal change drew the Roman commonwealth away from its familial roots the underlying assumptions that had bound the state fragmented and the constitutional order was gradually supplanted by more authoritarian structures. unknown books

Star Chamber Cases: Showing What Cases Properly Belong to the Cognizance of that Court. Reprinted from the Edition of 1630 or 1641. Originally published: Boston: Soule and Bugbee 1881.

The Court of Star Chamber was established by the Crown in 1487 to try offences dealing with the safety of the state before a council. Its scope expanded over time to include a wider array of criminal matters and a limited number of civil matters such as suits between corporations and prize cases. In its final years the court was infamous for cruelty arbitrary nature and illegal extensions of power. It was abolished in 1641. Crompton's L'Authoritie et Iurisdiction des Courts de la Maiestie de la Roygne 1594 is one of the best sources we have today about the court system of his day. Star-Chamber Cases was derived from this treatise. As W.S. Holdsworth points out "it is the book of a common lawyer to whom details as to the procedure and the jurisdiction of the court are more interesting than large questions as to its position in the state or its legal title to exercise jurisdiction." Despite its "somewhat haphazard organization "it is a useful collection of concrete facts and instances put together.from statutes abridgments year books law reports books of entries legal test books chronicles and his own experiences": History of English Law V:166-67. unknown books

Highly regarded since its original publication in 1917 and the winner of Harvard Law School's Ames Prize in 1919 it went on to become a standard work. It was recommended to cite two examples in Roscoe Pound's Introduction to American Law 1919 and Arthur Vanderbilt's Studying Law 1945.

Originally published: Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1942. xi i 164 pp. Reprinted 2013 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN 9781616191009. Paperback. New. $24.95 The Inspiration for Professor Kingsfield Discusses His Career Teaching Methods Professional Issues and Other Subjects. Spartan Education offers a fascinating account of Harvard Law School from the turn of the century to the 1940s colorful sketches of his professors Mr. Cadwallader and a summary of his "Spartan" approach to pedagogy. Warren also includes the texts of various addresses and articles dealing with Harvard legal history the American Bar and political topics. This is a reprint of the 1942 edition which was strictly limited to 1000 copies. Despite requests for additional copies Warren refused to reissue the book. He published an edition of extracts instead however in order to address these requests while keeping his word. "I believe in discipline. From boyhood days on I have sought to discipline my own mind pen and tongue. And throughout my service on the Law Faculty I have sought to discipline the minds pens and tongues of the students. I have never suffered fools gladly and regard such sufferance as mischievous. Therefore `Spartan Education' seemed an appropriate title. As I review my life I find the source of greatest satisfaction in my belief that there are today ten thousand men who are leading more useful and successful lives than they would be leading if my Spartan training had not played a substantial part in the molding of their minds; and that most if not all of them now recognize that to be the fact and are grateful." -- Preface ix Edward H. Warren 1873-1945 was a legendary professor at Harvard Law School. Known as "Bull" Warren for his aggressive and often vicious teaching methods he was the primary model for Professor Kingsfield in John Jay Osborn Jr.'s novel The Paper Chase. Warren attended Harvard College from 1891 to 1895 and Harvard Law School from 1897 to 1900 where his principal instructors were Ames Gray Smith and Thayer. After four years at Strong and Cadwalader he joined the Harvard Law faculty where he remained until his retirement. unknown books
