1933réf. 028580Hollywood CA: Hollywood Print Shop 1933. Octavo. 203 pages. Inscribed to Monte Montague who before his long career as Hollywood Cowboy worked as a ten year old boy he began working in a circus and over the years he became a clown acrobat and tumbler. When the author writes that he is just a "joey" circus slang for "a clown" it is something Monte Montague could relate to. p. 193-197 lists over 500 terms the author calls "the Language of the Lots" which include those akin to those who skirt the law and the "in language" of those who work day-to-day in the circuses ranging from the smaller venues to those of Barnum and Bailey. One of the most informative on the days of the circus from the late 1880's to the early 1930's. The author became the manager of the Masonic office in Hollywood and was President of "The Saints and Sinners" club for circus performers. Hollywood Print Shop unknown

A remarkably well preserved very good copy. $750. First edition. Chipman's landmark work occupies a pivotal place in American jurisprudence capturing a moment of profound transformation in economic and legal thought. In his 1847 Legal Bibliography J.G. Marvin famously criticized Chipman asserting that the author "showed what the law of contracts ought to be rather than what the law of contracts is." However modern legal historians view Marvin's critique as a failure to grasp a rapidly evolving legal landscape demonstrating instead that Chipman's ideas were profoundly ahead of their time. As legal historian Morton Horwitz points out Chipman was the first American jurist to dismantle the traditional paternalistic "equity theory of contract"-which focused on the inherent fairness of an exchange-and submerge it in a modern "conception of contractual obligation based exclusively on express bargains" determined strictly by market values. Consequently this essay remains an indispensable primary source for understanding the development of early American commercial law and the unique marketplace practices of the young republic. Daniel Chipman was a distinguished Vermont attorney a professor of law at Middlebury College and a vital political figure in the state's formative years. He served as a representative to both the Vermont state legislature and the U.S. Congress and was a prominent delegate to several Vermont constitutional conventions. Marvin Legal Bibliography 189.
