Reprint of the fifth edition which was the last published during the author's lifetime. As Cowley pointed out the New Law-Dictionary first edition 1729 was both Jacob's masterpiece and "an entirely new departure in legal literature" that provided a model for several subsequent efforts. 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.

The text fairly late and inspiring little attention is important because the British elevated it to such prominence in their new colony in the early 19th century.

Hardcover. $28.95 A study of secession and nullification movements in the United States from the nullification resolutions of 1798 to the American Civil War. Powell proposes that the secession of the southern states in 1861 was not a unique event in American history but the culmination of a tradition as old as the nation. Indeed he argues it was an expression of the "intense individualism which was the most potent factor in the creation of the republic" Preface. Sensitive to the continued animosity between the North and South Powell hoped that the historical context provided by his study would help to promote a spirit of reconciliation. The six attempts at nullification and secession that he examines are: the Nullification Resolutions of 1798 the plot for a northern confederacy 1803-1804 the Burr plot 1805-1806 New England nullifi cation and the Hartford Convention 1812-1814 South Carolina's attempts at nullifi cation 1832 the secession of 11 states and creation of the confederacy 1861. EDWARD PAYSON POWELL 1833-1915 was an American author and journalist. He graduated from Hamilton College and Union Theological Seminary and was ordained as a Congregational minister in 1817. He embarked on his journalism career in 1886 when he joined the St. Louis Globe-Democrat in 1886 as an editorial writer; he later 1900 moved to The Independent of New York a civil rights and anti-slavery newspaper. unknown books‎

‎2004. Federal Judicial Code Revision Project. Reporter: John B. Oakley University of California at Davis School of Law Davis California. American Law Institute 2004. xxxiii 673 pp. Cloth. New. $62.50 The Institute in 1969 published its Study of the Division of Jurisdiction Between State and Federal Courts. In 1994 it finished work on the Complex Litigation Project and published Complex Litigation: Statutory Recommendations and Analysis. The Federal Judicial Code Revision Project is the Institute's third major work on the jurisdiction of the federal courts. This work reconsiders three subjects within Title 28 of the United States Code: supplemental jurisdiction venue and removal. As to each the goals are clarity simplification and intelligent public policy. It is hoped that these proposed statutory improvements will be considered by Congress but even if Congress takes no action the proposals should provide valuable guidance to judges and lawyers dealing with the statutory law of jurisdiction as it now stands. unknown books‎
