2013. ISBN-13: 9781584776574; ISBN-10: 1584776579. Wessels Johannes Wilhelmus. History of the Roman-Dutch Law. Originally published: Grahamstown Cape Colony: African Book Co. 1908. iv new introduction xv 791 pp. Reprinted 2005 2013 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. With a New Introduction by Michael Hoeflich John H. & John M. Kane Professor of Law University of Kansas School of Law. ISBN-13: 9781584776574; ISBN-10: 1584776579. Hardcover. New. $39.95 Reprint of the sole edition. Roman-Dutch law is a hybrid of medieval Dutch law mainly Germanic in origin and Roman law as defined by the Corpus Juris Civilis and its later reception. It was developed in Holland during the sixteenth seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Bynkershoek Damhouder Grotius and other important Roman-Dutch scholars had a profound influence on the development of European civil law and were the primary conduit that brought civil-law ideas to America. Dutch colonists exported it to South Africa where it became the primary component of its current legal system. This engagingly written history by a judge of the Transvaal Supreme Court offers a thorough analysis of Roman-Dutch jurisprudence and its intellectual background. He devotes a great deal of attention to its literature and he analyzes several treatises at length. Valuable as an introduction to one of the most important legal systems in history it is equally useful as a reference. unknown books

New. $24.95 Reprint of the second edition. Phillips 1864-1950 believed that World War I though greater in scale was similar to earlier European conflicts. Hopeful that the newly formed League of Nations could learn a useful lesson from the past he offers an account of its most successful forerunner the European alliance of 1813-1823 which was formed at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Reaching its apogee in the Congress of Vienna the alliance initiated a brief but fruitful era of political stability. After enumerating the factors that ended the alliance Phillips uses these examples to advise the new League of analogous problems it may face. unknown books

Percy H. Winfield Chief Sources of Anglo-American Law 38. Rejecting the reigning positivist ethos of the nineteenth century Holmes proposed that the law was not a science founded on abstract universal principles but a body of practices that responded to particular situations. This functionalist interpretation led to his radical conclusion that law was not discovered but invented.

Drage Geoffrey
The Criminal Code of the German Empire
2006. ISBN-13: 9781584775935; ISBN-10: 1584775939. Drage Geoffrey Translator. The Criminal Code of the German Empire. London: Chapman and Hall 1885. xv 365 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775935. ISBN-10: 1584775939. Hardcover. New. $45. The German Criminal Code Reichsstrafgesetzbuch was ratified by the newly-formed German Empire on 16 April 1871. It is a remarkable work of synthesis drawn mostly from the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina 1532 the Code Napoleon 1804 Feuerbach's Bavarian Criminal Code 1813 and the Prussian Penal Code 1851 which was influenced by the Code Napoleon. Its value lay not just in its establishment of uniform federal law but as Drage notes in his excellent commentary in its catholicity of historical and contemporary sources. Drawing on the idea of German unity underscored in this case by the consensus-forming might of Prussian arms the criminal code remained in force despite various efforts at reform until the triumph of National Socialism. unknown books

Authority in the Modern State
2003. ISBN-13: 9781584772750; ISBN-10: 1584772751. Laski Harold J. Authority in the Modern State. Originally published: New Haven: Yale University Press 1919. x 15-398 pp. Reprinted 2003 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772750; ISBN-10: 1584772751. Hardcover. New. $29.95 Laski 1893-1950 intended this work to be a sequel to Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty 1917. He argues that sovereignty is best understood as a type of authority and he supports his case with examples drawn principally from modern French history. After tracing the origins of his subject Laski considers the significance of Bonald Lamennais Royer-Collard and the Syndicalist movement. "This book is especially valuable because it warns us not to exaggerate the importance of law. If the individuals in the legislatures and the departments of justice and on the bench do not stand for the best things men stand for men begin to wonder whether after all that government ought to endure. . So in order to make people loyal to the state you must make the state the kind of institution that they want to be loyal to. Such is the lesson of this very able book." Zachariah Chafee Jr. Harvard Law Review 32:979-83. Laski was a professor at Harvard at the time of publication. He was Justice Holmes' protege and notes in his preface that some of the ideas in this book were drawn from their discussions. Their letters were later published Howe Mark DeWolfe Holmes-Laski Letters. The Correspondence of Mr. Justice Holmes and Harold J. Laski 1916-1935.

New. $34.95 First published in England in 1852 Forsyth's Trial by Jury is the first full-scale historical account of the rise and growth of the jury system in England. Highly regarded this book went through 37 editions. The first American edition the source of this reprint adds a number of notes and corrections to American references in previous editions. "An excellent summary of the opinions of leading legal writers as well as conventional historians regarding the origins of trial by jury was set forth by an Englishman William Forsyth in his excellent book entitled History of Trial by Jury. . . . Various writers according to Forsyth attribute the origin of the English jury to a recognition of the principle that no man ought to be condemned except by the voice of his fellow citizens. Forsyth committed himself to the belief that trial by jury did not owe its existence to any positive law that it was not created by any Act of Parliament but grew out of usages and customs of society that eventually passed away. Forsyth concluded his observations by saying that 'the jury does not owe its existence to any preconceived theory of jurisprudence but that it gradually grew out of forms previously in use and was composed of elements long familiar to the people in general.'" --Robert H. White 29 Tennessee Law Review 29 1961-1962 14. William Forsyth 1812-1899 was an English lawyer and author of many works on law and literature including The History of Lawyers 1849. unknown books

Strictures on the Lives and Characters of the Most Eminent Lawyers of the Present Day: Including among other Celebrated Names Those of the Lord Chancellor and the Twelve Judges. Originally published: London: Printed for G. Kearsley 1790. Portrait frontispiece xv 232 pp. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775072. ISBN-10: 1584775076. Hardcover. New. $95. A series of caustic-satiric biographies of contemporary eminent jurists including the Earls of Mansfield and Camden Sir Francis Buller and others. Unabashedly ad hominem they are often quite funny. Sir Nash Grose is compared to a poisonous spider. Sir Richard Perryn's language "is poor insipid and nerveless" and his manner "conveys an idea of weakness and insipidity" 178. Mr. Anstruther's voice often "sounds discordant and ungrateful to the ear of harmony" 221. The book concludes with an essay titled "The Character of an Honest Lawyer" which is introduced with the following note: "After so much has been said of lawyers of the present day the insertion of the following character from an old writer may not perhaps be thought impertinent or improper.": 225. Given the nature of contemporary English libel law the author was wise to publish this book anonymously. Though it is sometimes attributed to Edward Wynne 1734-1784 an English barrister by Halkett & Laing it was probably written by Leman Thomas Rede 1754/55-1810 a member of the Inner Temple. unknown books

Legal and Political Hermeneutics or Principles of Interpretation and Construction in Law and Politics with Remarks on Precedents and Authorities. Enlarged Edition. Originally published: Boston: Charles C. Little and James Brown 1839. xii 13-240 pp. Reprinted 2002 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772262; ISBN-10: 1584772263. Hardcover. $34.95 This work received high praise from Chancellor Kent Henry Clay Rufus Choate Joseph Story and others. Published at a time when there was a great deal of debate about the interpretation of the United States Constitution it asserts that Constitutions should be read closely since their words were carefully measured and distinguishes between interpretation "the art of finding out the true sense of any form of words" and construction the drawing of conclusions respecting the subjects that lie outside the direct expression of the text. "The Hermeneutics was intended as a chapter of his Political Ethics but became so extended that it was published separately. His distinction between interpretation and construction had great influence among legal writers of his day." DAB. Lieber was a professor of history and political economy at South Carolina College and later at Columbia College and Columbia Law School. He is best known for drafting guidelines for the humane conduct of the Union army. One of these General Orders Number 100 better known as the "Lieber Code" was adopted by other nations and formed the basis for such international treaties as the Hague Regulations of 1907.
