Problems of Power his finest work argues that international law and Realpolitik lost their hold on the conduct of international relations around 1870. Contemporary affairs since then were determined by a fear of political weakness resulting from cultural and spiritual decline. Fullerton's argument that this fear was provoked by the global economy and that it encouraged nationalism protective economic measures and a fervent desire to repel foreign influences remains relevant today. unknown books

The Federalist: A Collection of Essays Written in Favour of the New Constitution As Agreed Upon by the Federal Convention September 17 1787. New-York: Printed and sold by J. and A. M'Lean no. 41 Hanover-Square. 1788. 2 Volumes. Reprinted 2005 2016 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775294; ISBN-10: 1584775297. Hardcover. New. $95. Facsimile reprint of the complete text of the rare first edition in two volumes. "Most famous and influential American political work." Howes U.S.IANA 1650-1950 H114c. The views of Hamilton Madison and Jay expressed in this landmark work have had a lasting effect on U.S. Constitutional law. Eighty-five of the essays were almost entirely written by Hamilton and Madison and probably only five were written by Jay. Most of the individual essays appeared under the collective pseudonym "Publius" in New York newspapers and journals from October 27 1787 to early June 1788. The first edition was published anonymously and printed by the M'Lean brothers who collected and published the first 36 essays as Volume I in March 1788 with the final 49 essays in Volume II in May of the same year along with the text of the Constitution. The essays were intended to encourage ratification of the proposed constitution by New York State but were immediately recognized as the most compelling commentary on the most radical form of government the world had seen. Hamilton's essays especially express a strong concern for the rights of property over the natural rights of "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as outlined by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence.

One of several English dictionaries published in the early nineteenth century Williams' dictionary is notable for its physical size and broad scope. Williams noted that his aim was to include more words and shorter definitions by omitting the extraneous detail that distinguished the work of his predecessors and presumably his competitors. Williams 1763-1833 was a barrister of the Inner Temple and was called to the bar but he didn't have success as a pleader. He was known instead for his writings. In addition to his dictionary he wrote manuals justices of the peace compiled abridgments and digests and edited an edition of William Sheppard's The Precedent of Precedents. 1. unknown books

Nicklin 1829. viii 9-349 pp. Reprinted 2003 2014 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584773313; ISBN-10: 1584773316. Hardcover. New. $28.95 This treatise was the first comprehensive study of the United States Constitution and one of the most important. Though concise Rawle provides a systematic analysis of the Constitution's articles as well as its historical background and philosophy. It is also a historically significant work because it suggests that states have a right to secede from the Union. A popular textbook used in schools with large numbers of southern pupils such as the U.S. Military Academy it and is generally considered to have influenced the leaders and supporters of the Confederacy. "Though admittedly a valuable and able study Rawle's View of the Constitution stirred up controversy. Rawle himself was a Federalist but his studies in government had led him to the judgment that the Union was not irrevocable. His final chapter on "The Union" includes a detailed statement that the right of secession was necessary to the fundamental right of a people to choose their own form of government. . . . In several ways Rawle may be considered as providing the transitional step between the North and the South. His View was published midway between the inauguration of the Federal Government and the outbreak of the War Between the States." --Elizabeth Kelley Bauer Commentaries on the Constitution 1790-1860 63 WILLIAM RAWLE 1759-1836 was a pillar of Pennsylvania's legal establishment and a highly regarded attorney and educator. In 1791 President George Washington appointed him the U.S. district attorney for Pennsylvania. In 1830 Rawle helped revise the civil code of Pennsylvania. Because of his interests in science philanthropy and education he became the founder and president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. He was also the president of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society and served as trustee of the University of Pennsylvania for forty years. unknown books

DeWitt David Miller
The Judicial Murder of Mary Surratt
2003. ISBN-13: 9781584773528; ISBN-10: 1584773529. DeWitt David Miller. The Judicial Murder of Mary Surratt. 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

"After a searching examination of a wealth of judicial precedents drawn largely from Ireland's relations with the English king and parliament the author reaches the conclusion that 'there was a bona fide constitutional issue which preceded the American Revolution and from which it in part resulted.'

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.

Kelsen Hans; Knight Max translator
Pure Theory of Law. Translation from the Second German Edition by.
2009. ISBN-13: 9781584772064; ISBN-10: 1584772069. Kelsen Hans. Pure Theory of Law. Translation from the Second German Edition by Max Knight. Originally published: Berkeley: University of California Press 1967. x 356 pp. Reprinted 2002 2009 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772064; ISBN-10: 1584772069. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Second revised and enlarged edition a complete revision of the first edition published in 1934. A landmark in the development of modern jurisprudence the pure theory of law defines law as a system of coercive norms created by the state that rests on the validity of a generally accepted Grundnorm or basic norm such as the supremacy of the Constitution. Entirely self-supporting it rejects any concept derived from metaphysics politics ethics sociology or the natural sciences. Beginning with the medieval reception of Roman law traditional jurisprudence has maintained a dual system of "subjective" law the rights of a person and "objective" law the system of norms. Throughout history this dualism has been a useful tool for putting the law in the service of politics especially by rulers or dominant political parties. The pure theory of law destroys this dualism by replacing it with a unitary system of objective positive law that is insulated from political manipulation. Possibly the most influential jurisprudent of the twentieth century Hans Kelsen 1881-1973 was legal adviser to Austria's last emperor and its first republican government the founder and permanent advisor of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Austria and the author of Austria's Constitution which was enacted in 1920 abolished during the Anschluss and restored in 1945. The author of more than forty books on law and legal philosophy he is best known for this work and General Theory of Law and State. Also active as a teacher in Europe and the United States he was Dean of the Law Faculty of the University of Vienna and taught at the universities of Cologne and Prague the Institute of International Studies in Geneva Harvard Wellesley the University of California at Berkeley and the Naval War College. unknown books

Lockwood Frank
The Law and Lawyers of Pickwick
2017. ISBN-13: 9781584772316; ISBN-10: 158477231X. Lockwood Frank. The Law and Lawyers of Pickwick: A Lecture. Originally published: London: The Roxburghe Press 1910 108 pp. Reprinted 2002 2017 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772316; ISBN-10: 158477231X. Hardcover. New. $19.95 With a frontispiece of Serjeant Buzfuz by the author. A pleasant Dickensian diversion spiced with a wry sense of humor The Law and Lawyers of Pickwick offers an account of one of the most famous legal cases in English literature: Bardell v. Pickwick. Lockwood 1847-1897 observes that Mr. Pickwick would have fared even worse under the modern law of evidence which would have given Buzfuz an opportunity to prepare a devastating cross-examination. This volume originated as a lecture delivered at Morley Hall Hackney in 1893 that was attended by Henry Fielding Dickens the author's son and an attorney. His reply which is included here indicates his warm approval of Lockwood's thesis. unknown books
