"This four-volume work was the culmination of an 18th-century bloodline that began in 1729 with the appearance of Giles Jacob's New Law-Dictionary which appeared in 11 editions through 1782. Jacob started a new genre: the law dictionary that was also an "abridgement"--that is an alphabetically arranged restatement of the whole law subject by subject. . His four-volume set as ultimately published has remained one of the most obscure law dictionaries ever. Copies are extremely rare today: few libraries even at the institutions that have specifically built up their holdings in law dictionaries possess one. I for example was never able to examine a copy until the page proofs of this reprint were made available to me. My guess is that no more than 100 were printed. Fewer than a dozen copies are known to exist. The book has therefore received scant attention." --From the Introduction by Bryan A. Garner. unknown books‎

New. $39.95 In 1817 David Hoffman published A Course of Legal Study an ambitious systematically organized program of readings for aspiring attorneys. It was widely acclaimed upon publication; Joseph Story said it offered "by far the most perfect system for the study of the law which has ever been offered to the public." Hoffman published this book while helping to establish the Law Institute of the newly founded University of Maryland. He expounded the principles of the Course in his lectures. A few were published as pamphlets to promote Hoffman's ideas and attract students. In 1837 he re-published them along with a few related texts in a book entitled Introductory Lectures and Syllabus of a Course of Lectures Delivered in the University of Maryland. The Law Library of the Library of Congress holds the only known copy. Sleeman returns this rare volume to print and adds an illuminating biographical sketch of Hoffman and a consideration of his library that reprints an auction catalogue of his books prepared for his estate by Henry Wheaton. DAVID HOFFMAN 1784-1854 was a prominent pioneer in the establishment of university-based legal education. He helped to found the University of Maryland Law School in 1816 and was its first professor. His A Course of Legal Study 1817 and Legal Outlines 1829 played a critical role in the development of law school curricula and provided guidance to hundreds of antebellum law students and attorneys.

New. $39.95 "An Important Document in the Legal Literary and Social History of the United States" --Michael Hoeflich Introduction vi George W. Niven was a lawyer and con-man who cheated his victims all incarcerated prostitutes pickpockets and other petty criminals. Since it involved a corrupt lawyer criminals and venal jailors his trial was a perfect subject for a trial report one of the most popular genres of antebellum literature. This trial frequently cited in later histories of American law is equally important as an early source for the history of legal malpractice litigation in the U.S. and its description of the practice of a lawyer at the margins of the profession. The affidavits of Niven's victims also provide a great deal of vital information about the daily lives of prisoners in the early decades of the Republic. William Sampson 1764-1836 was an Irish rights activist whose part in the Uprising of 1798 led to his relocation to New York where he engaged in a successful law career. unknown books‎

Butterworth and Son 1820. xv 500 pp. Reprinted 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781616190651; ISBN-10: 1616190655. Paperback. New. $39.95 Reprint of the first edition. Chitty addresses the body of customary authority privileges and immunities belonging to the Crown. An intricate vaguely defined field with medieval roots it has entailed a wide range of matters from the regulation of the civil service to the supervision of resident aliens and the granting of honors. This treatise was highly regarded when it was first published. For example Petersdorff's Lectures on the Theory and Practice of the Laws of England 1829 said it was "A valuable work." Although the scope of royal prerogatives was rather narrow in the 1820s and has diminished further since then this treatise has retained its value and is often cited today. Chitty 1796-1838 was one of the greatest legal authors of the nineteenth centuries. His treatises on contracts and criminal law were standard works in Great Britain and the United States. unknown books‎

Above all others he has shaped the methods and ideas that are characteristic of the present as distinguished from the immediate past.": Harvard Law Review 34 1920-1921:449. unknown books‎

It consists mainly in a clear and able presentation of convincing evidence that the power of the courts to override laws repugnant to the spirit of the Constitution was directly contemplated by the framers of that instrument. It is apparent that the author has made a careful study of the Federal Convention of 1787 and in the state ratifying conventions that followed.
