Nearly seventy years after they were executed for espionage even after the opening of the USSR's secret Venona files the guilt or innocence of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remains a subject of controversy. A National Committee to Reopen the Rosenberg Case the successor to the National Committee to Secure Justice to the Rosenbergs is active to this day. The trial like that of their contemporary Alger Hiss was enveloped by the early years of the Cold War. Added to the mix was the fact that the Rosenbergs were Jewish as were their prosecutors Irving Saypol and Roy Cohn and the trial judge Irving Kaufman. There is little doubt that significant prejudicial conduct occurred at trial including ex parte meetings with the trial judge and the introduction of inflammatory evidence which had little probative value. The National Committee published this Record "confident that the dispassionate reader will perceive the gross miscarriage of justice that cries out for redress." The Committee claims that David and Ruth Greenglass the government's "main witnesses" were themselves spies whose testimony was tainted by their desire to avoid the death penalty. There was no documentary evidence of the Rosenbergs' guilt. Indeed the prosecution whipped the jury into an anti-Communist frenzy; and the sentence of death was "barbaric.

1952rif. 45742Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Very Good. Second Edition; Later Printing.

Foredges have speckles of foxing. xxxviii 2 688; xv 1 691 pp. From the collection of Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas. First published in 1895 Sir Frederick Pollock and Frederic William Maitland’s legal classic The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I expanded the work of Sir Edward Coke and William Blackstone by exploring the origins of key aspects of English common law and society and with them the development of individual rights as these were gradually carved out from the authority of the Crown and the Church. PROVENANCE: From the estate of Abraham Fortas 1910 – 1982 American lawyer and jurist who served as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1965 to 1969. Fortas graduated from Rhodes College and Yale Law School and became a law professor at Yale and then an advisor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Fortas worked at the Department of the Interior under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was appointed by President Harry S. Truman to delegations that helped set up the United Nations in 1945. In 1948 Fortas represented Lyndon B. Johnson in the dispute over the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination and he formed close ties with Johnson. Nominated by Johnson to the Supreme Court in 1965 Fortas was confirmed by the Senate and maintained a close working relationship with the president. As a justice Fortas wrote several landmark opinions in cases such as "In re Gault" and "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District." In 1968 Johnson tried to elevate Fortas to the position of Chief Justice of the United States but that nomination faced a filibuster and was withdrawn. Fortas later resigned from the Court after a controversy involving his acceptance of $20000 from financier Louis Wolfson while Wolfson was being investigated for insider trading. The Justice Department investigated Fortas at the behest of President Richard Nixon whose Attorney General John N. Mitchell pressured Fortas into resigning. Following his resignation Fortas returned to private practice occasionally appearing before the justices with whom he had served.Although it has been more than a century since its initial publication Pollock and Maitland’s work is still considered a foundational reference for scholars of medieval English law. Volume one begins with an examination of Anglo-Saxon law goes on to consider the changes in law introduced by the Normans then moves to the twelfth-century “Age of Glanvill” with the first great compilation of English laws and customs followed by the thirteenth-century “Age of Bracton” author of another major treatise on the same subject. . 1952.

Northen's effort to organize a Peace Society in the early days of WWI "I have your letter . and note that your are organizing the Atlanta Peace Society.

Secretary of War under Theodore Roosevelt and subsequently elected the 27th President of the United States William H. Taft 1857-1930 contemplated returning to practice law after leaving office. However he foresaw a conflict of interest as he'd appointed so many federal judges including many Supreme Court justices. He jumped at the offer from Yale Law School which would appoint him as Kent Professor of Law and Legal History. While there he prepared lectures on "Questions of Modern Government" and wrote several articles and treatises including "Our Chief Magistrate and His Powers". Following the outbreak of the First World War Taft hoped to prevent war through an international association of nations and assumed the presidency of The League to Enforce Peace in 1915 advocating for the creation of a League of Nations and world court. He would subsequently serve as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. New Haven, Connecticut, December 13, 1914.

Inscribed by Turco to contributor Donald Justice on the front blank: "for Don Justice with pleasure thanks - Lew #3 / 25."
