First edition of the last treatise published by Story. "Joseph Story's work on promissory notes was the last of his great treatises. . Unlike many of his predecessors Story treated each aspect of commercial law separately in a series of works which included his treatises on agency 1839 partnership 1841 bills of exchange 1843 and finally the one on promissory notes. The inclusion of comparative sources from the commercial law of other countries reflects Story's view expressed in his opinion for the Supreme Court in Swift v. Tyson 1842 that commercial law was international not the 'law of a single country only but of the commercial world" Cohen. This book from the library of the American philanthropist Guivy Zaldastani 1919-2007 who was born in Tbilisi Georgia but later obtained a law degree from the Sorbonne and took a Master's degree in business at Harvard.

In The Formative Era of American Law Pound refers to the Commentaries on the Laws of Bills of Exchange as one of the standard texts of the nineteenth century. As Marvin pointed out in 1847 it was certainly the most complete and wide ranging text of its day. In addition to American and English sources Story draws on the work of Heineccius and other civil-law jurists. Apart from James Kent no man has had greater influence on American law than Joseph Story. He was Dane Professor of Law at Harvard and an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. William Wetmore Story was one of his children. A highly regarded lawyer and legal writer he later abandoned the law moved to Italy and became a notable poet and sculptor.

Written anonymously for the Encyclopedia Americana 1829-present and now gathered in one volume this work presents eighteen articles about major legal subjects by Joseph Story Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and the first Dane professor of law at Harvard Law School. The articles are virtually unknown today because they were unsigned and never republished in any other form. Ranging from "Law Legislation and Codes" "Common Law" and "Congress of the United States" to "Law of Nations" "Natural Law" and "Prize" these extended essays are fascinating distillations of Story's jurisprudence. The Encyclopedia Americana was edited by Story's friend Francis Lieber 1798-1872 who wrote the "Lieber's Code" and was a distinguished professor at Columbia Law School who helped establish the field of political science in the United States. The book includes an introduction by Morris L. Cohen that describes the genesis of Story's involvement in writing the pieces and some of their main ideas. The appendix offers texts of rare related materials. With an index. "After the American Revolution the United States caught fire as a commercial republic. But adaptation of the common law to the needs of a trading nation required a broad erudition and a long view of America's role in the world. That combination was supplied by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story - who was the faithful partner of Chief Justice Marshall and a New Englander who understood America's commercial future. Now -- in a literary event that should excite every lawyer -- these extraordinary essays published anonymously in the serial volumes of the 19th century Encyclopedia Americana are again available.
