An important edition that showcases the development of American commercial law in the mid-19th century through the ongoing updates to a foundational text by a giant of American jurisprudence. Joseph Story 1779-1845 a U.S. Supreme Court Justice was one of the most influential legal minds of his era and the youngest person ever appointed to the court. His series of commentaries on commercial law were highly influential in shaping American law in the 19th century and beyond. This specific work was his final treatise originally published in 1845 and written while he was still serving as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and professor of law at Harvard. According to Cohen "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.'" It was written while he was still serving as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and professor of law at Harvard. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law. unknown books

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.

In 1847 Marvin summed up a general opinion when he said it was "a comprehensive collection and analysis of Statutes and Decisions not equaled in the variety and extent of its learning by any similar production in our own or in any language." A search of Newspapers.com locates several c.1858 advertisements and references for an S.H. Gardner who was a lawyer in St. Louis. He was probably a former owner of our copy.
