This was the first comprehensive American treatise on partnership. Like Story's other great treatises it was a standard work in the United States and to some extent Great Britain. This was published in the antebellum era a period when American law was being shaped to support a growing capitalist and commercial economy often in opposition to states' rights and agrarian interests. Story's treatises with their pro-business vision and integration of Roman and common law played a significant role in this development. Story a U.S. Supreme Court Justice and a leading legal scholar wrote a number of influential treatises that shaped American law. His works were standard resources in the U.S. and Great Britain for many years. Charles Warren in Law Studies said it is "a truly luminous exposition of a subject noted for its intricacy and the subtlety of the rules upon which the system depends" 451. Roscoe Pound in The Formative Era of American Law included it in his list of texts that were "a significant force in our legal development" 140. The first edition was published in 1841.
