11. [Bankruptcy]. [United States].

United States Bankrupt Law Approved March 2, 1867. With Marginal
Notes.

* The Bankruptcy Act of 1867 was the third attempt to create a
Federal bankruptcy system. The first two acts, passed in 1800 and
1841, both lasted about a year. Never popular, they were seen as
safeguards for financial recklessness and were allowed to expire.
Other attempts, most notably a bill proposed in 1841 by Daniel
Webster, were defeated. Around 1865, however, Congress began to see
bankruptcy protection as a way to encourage the economic
redevelopment of the devastated southern states and the expansion of
the national post-war economy. These needs informed the passage of
the 1867 act.

$45.
* The ideal model of national security decision-making, whereby the
Legislative branch authorizes action to protect national security
and the Executive branch takes it, has broken down due to the speed
and unpredictability of foreign crises and the President’s monopoly
on foreign intelligence. Provides a unique and provocative primer on
the power of the purse in national security law.

of race, gender and labor.
Uncommon Bentham Collection on Logic
14. Bentham, Jeremy [1748-1832].
The Book of Fallacies: From Unfinished Papers of Jeremy Bentham:
By a Friend. xi, 411 pp. Octavo (5-1/4" x 8-1/4"). Recent
paper-covered boards with contrasting paper spine label, endpapers
renewed. Creases and light foxing to a few leaves, interior
otherwise clean. $700.
* First edition. The editor notes that some of the papers in this
volume that were translated and published in French by Dumont
omitted principles that were important to the British reader and
therefore merited reissue in a collection of those papers relating
to “Fallacies employed in debate” (from the Preface). Following an
introduction that defines and classifies fallacies, this collection
discusses fallacies relating to authority, danger, delay, confusion
and other topics. Bentham’s influence in the field of jurisprudence
has been immense, directly resulting in the substitution of reason
and utility for other justifications of law. He is now recognized
as the founder of analytical jurisprudence. Walker 125. BMC

Bentham Criticizes the Corps
of Special Crown Jurors
15. Bentham, Jeremy.
The Elements of the Art of Packing, As 23. Applied to Special
Juries, Particularly in Cases of Libel Law.
London: Published by Effingham Wilson, 1821. [2], vii, [3], 269 pp.
Octavo (5-1/4" x 8-1/4"). Recent period-style quarter calf over
cloth, endpapers renewed. Several unopened signatures. Light toning
to text, interior otherwise fresh. A nice copy. $750.
* First edition. In his Elements of the Art of Packing
Bentham attacks the system of keeping a corps of special jurors who
were employed by the Crown, and were therefore susceptible to Crown
influence. It is in this work that Bentham lays down the principle
that the libel law is incompatible with English liberties. Sweet &
Maxwell 2:27. McCoy B200. See illustration below.
Two Important Tracts by Bentham
16. Bentham, Jeremy.
The Rationale of Reward. London: Published by John and H.L.
Hunt, 1825. viii, 352, [1] pp.

Permission of the Author. London: T.J. Wooler, 1818. [iv], 156 pp.
Contemporary polished half-calf over marbled boards, raised bands,
gilt ornaments and lettering piece to spine, speckled edges. Light
rubbing, some wear to extremities, front hinge cracked but secure,
rear hinge starting. Negligible foxing and discoloration to a few

* First and second English editions, respectively. The material
presented in the first English edition had been originally published
in French by Dumont. The editor of the English edition notes that it
differs from the literal translations of Dumont, and prints
Bentham’s remarks regarding this edition. In his famous tract on
Parliamentary Reform, Bentham recommended the exclusion from the
House of Commons of place men, annual elections, uniform electoral
districts, suffrage to all who paid a certain amount of taxes and
secret balloting. Impressed by the dangers to the security of
English liberties, Bentham published his Plan of Parliamentary
Reform almost ten years after it had been written. In his
introduction “he pointed out that the sole remedy was democratic
ascendancy, and to bring about this parliamentary reform, the
establishment of virtual universal suffrage and vote by ballot was
necessary.”: Dictionary of National Biography II:275. Sweet &
Maxwell 2:28. See illustration below.

pamphlets.

set. $450.
* Second edition. “In the second edition of this standard treatise
the text of the first edition has been left intact, though
rearranged at certain points. (...) Its popularity with the
profession is...justified, for it is the only convenient repository
of citations in a field difficult of approach through the Digest
system.”: J.P.D., Michigan Law Review 29 (1930-1931) 128.
Third and Final Edition of Cooley’s Blackstone

frontispiece. Two tables, one folding. Reprinted 2003 by The Lawbook
Exchange, Ltd. Cloth. New. $250.
* Reprint of the third edition, revised. This edition is notable in
part because it omits the notes of English editors found in Cooley’s
earlier editions and adds a good deal of new commentary by Cooley,
most of it dealing with American statutes and decisions. It also has
several new sections including the complete text of, Jones.
A Translation of all the Greek, Latin Italian, and French
Quotations which Occur in Blackstone’s Commentaries.... These
are a review of the recent progress in law and essays on local
government in Great Britain, the British colonial system and local
government in the United States and its territories. Cooley
[1824-1898] was one of the most prominent American jurists of the
nineteenth century and an authority on Constitutional law. First
issued in 1870, “Cooley’s Blackstone” was the standard American
edition of the late nineteenth century.
Legal Satire During the Age of Dickens and Trollope

* Only edition. A substantial satire by an English lawyer who
retired from the bar and moved to Paris. With its thinly veiled
references to prominent solicitors, chief clerks, magistrates and
politicians, it is an engaging account of the Chancery courts during
the age of Dickens and Trollope. Its tone is set immediately in the
first line: “Oh! Court of Equity, misnamed, where doubt / Leads many
in; whence few, or none, get out.” OCLC locates 27 copies. BMC

[2006]. xi, 384 pp. Cloth in dust jacket. New. $49.95
* A title in the series Law, Society, and Politics in the Midwest.
Long regarded as a center for middle-American values, Indiana is
also a cultural crossroads that has produced a rich and complex
legal and constitutional heritage. The History of Indiana Law
traces this history through a series of expert articles by
identifying the themes that mark the state’s legal development and
establish its place within the broader context of the Midwest and
nation. The History of Indiana Law explores the ways in which
the state’s legal culture responded to and at times resisted the
influence of national legal developments, including the tortured
history of race relations in Indiana.

December 1735. It went through 11 editions, the final appearing in
1786. DNB XVII: 632.

entire relations of the average lawyer with his clients, his
witnesses, his opponents and the court, in reference to matters of

A Lovely Copy of the Collected
Works of Important Dutch Jurist
30. Bynkershoek (Bijnkershoek), Cornelius van [1673-1743].
Opera Omnia.
[Volume I] Observationum Juris Romani Libros VIII, Opuscula Varii
Argumenti [Volume II] Opera Minora, Quaestiones Juris
Publici, Quaestiones Juris Privati. Leiden: Samuelem and Joannem
Luchtmans, 1767. Two volumes bound as one, each with title page; all
works preceded by divisional title pages. Text printed in double
columns on wide-margined paper. Frontispiece misbound between
preliminaries and main text of Volume I. Folio (10" x 16").
Contemporary vellum, ornate gilt double frames enclosing large gilt
arms of Middleburg, Holland, gilt spine with raised bands and
morocco lettering piece, speckled edges, ties lacking. Negligible
shelfwear and soiling, a few tiny stains, front board lightly bowed.
Attractive copperplate portrait frontispiece, woodcut head-pieces,
tail-pieces and decorated initials. Early owner signature to front
pastedown, interior notably fresh. An appealing copy. $2,500.
* Fourth (and final) edition. One of the most influential jurists
and international lawyers of his time, Bynkershoek was a Dutch
jurist who established the positive school of international law,
which held that usage and practice were more important than
deductions drawn from natural law. He was also the first to propose
the “three-mile limit” rule, which states that a nation may claim
sovereignty over territorial waters to a distance of three miles
from shore. Respected during his lifetime, his works are still
consulted today. This two-volume set collects his principal
writings. Observationum Juris Romani Libros VIII (1710-1763)
advocated the reform of existing Dutch law through Roman-law
principles. The model he outlines in this book played a decisive
role in the development of Roman-Dutch law. Opuscula Varii
Argumenti (1719) addresses topics in Roman, international and
maritime law. Opera Minora (1730) contains two of his most
important essays: “Dissertation de Domino Maris (Dissertation on the
Sovereignty of the Sea)” and “De Foro Legatorum, Tam in Causa Civili,
Quam Criminali (On the Jurisdiction Over Ambassadors in Both Civil
and Criminal Cases).” Quaestiones Juris Privati (1732-1752)
considers topics in Roman, Dutch and Roman-Dutch law. The conflict
of laws is discussed at length. Quaestiones Juris Publici
(1744) considers questions dealing with international law. “De Rebus
Bellicus,” its most important chapter, addresses the customs of war
on land and on sea. Notably humane, it condemns actions against
civilians and advocates the fair treatment of prisoners of war.
Beginning with Lord Mansfield, scholars have considered this to be
Bynkershoek’s greatest work. Vicat was a jurist and the director of
the University of Lausanne from 1749 to 1762 and the compiler of an
important law dictionary. A pioneer in library science, he was the
first to issue a printed library catalogue. KVK locates 9 copies of

The First American Treatise on Contracts
35. Chipman, Daniel [1765-1850].
An Essay on the Law of Contracts, for the Payment of Specifick
Articles. Middlebury [Vt.]: Published by the Author, 1822.
xvi, [17]-224 pp. Octavo (5" x 8-1/2"). Contemporary three-quarter
sheep over paper boards, rebacked in period style retaining original
lettering piece, hinges mended. Minor rubbing and a few scuffs to
extremities, light soiling to boards. Light foxing to endleaves,
some toning to text. Early owner stamp and signature to front free
endpaper, another early signature to head of title page, interior
otherwise clean. $600.
* First edition. Chipman’s Essay was the first original
treatise on the subject written in the United States. (Verplanck’s
An Essay on the Doctrine of Contracts (1825) was the second.)
In 1847 Marvin criticized Chipman for “show[ing] what the law of
contracts ought to be rather than what the law of contracts is.”
This remark reflects Marvin’s failure to grasp the changing nature
of contract law, and it shows that Chipman’s ideas were ahead of
their time. Indeed, as Horwitz points out, Chipman was the first
American to submerge the “dominant equity theory of contract in a
conception of contractual obligation based exclusively on express
bargains” determined by market values. Chipman was a Vermont lawyer,
a professor of law at Middlebury, a representative to the state
legislature and the U.S. Congress and a delegate to several Vermont
constitutional conventions. Marvin, Legal Bibliography (1847)

* Fifth edition, and the second edition by Manley. The
Interpreter is considered to be the best law dictionary
published before Jacob’s New Law-Dictionary (1729). Though
its significance was recognized almost immediately, it was not
approved by all. At a time when Parliament and crown were vying for
power, the House of Commons was angered by Cowell’s royalist
sympathies, which were evident in such definitions as “King,”
“Parliament,” “Prerogative,” “Recoveries,” and “Subsidies.” When a
joint committee of Lords and Councilors reviewed the work, the
ensuing controversy nearly halted the affairs of government. James I
intervened in fear that his own fiscal interests would not be
approved by Parliament, and ordered a proclamation that imprisoned
Cowell, suppressed the book and ordered all copies burned by a
public hangman on March 10, 1610. Moreover, The Interpreter
contained a quotation critical of Littleton’s scholarship that
angered Sir Edward Coke. It comes as no surprise that he was
instrumental in the book’s suppression and in Cowell’s persecution.
It remained in use, however, and it went through several editions.
Later enlarged editions, such as this one, are used today by
scholars of early English legal texts. Marke, Vignettes of Legal
History 309-312. Sweet & Maxwell 1:7 (18). See illustration below.

* First edition. “As the furnishing of justices of the peace with a
sufficient variety of precedents, formed upon the words of the acts
of parliament, was the sole motive for compiling the following
sheets; so the reader may be assured that no forms are published,
but such as appear to the compiler to be accurate. (...) The
statutes under each title are inserted in a chronological order;
which may serve to give the reader an idea of the progressive
improvements made in the statute law, and be useful for many other
purposes.” Advertisement iii. Cunningham was a member of the Middle
Temple and the author of an important law dictionary. A second
edition was published in 1769; a supplemental volume to this edition
followed in 1770. OCLC locates 10 copies of the 1762 edition. Sweet

* First published in 1534, the Nouuelle Natura Brevium is a
manual of procedure written by a Judge of the Common Pleas during
the reign of Henry VIII. Winfield notes that “Coke put it among the
books which he considered most necessary and of greatest authority
and excellency”; Blackstone considered it an authority as well.
Compiled from the earlier Natura Brevia and the Registrum
Brevium, it includes several original observations on the form
and function of writs. Rastell’s revisions include the addition of a
table. A popular work, it went through numerous editions in Law
French and English, the final appearing in 1794. It remains
significant to this day for its descriptions of writs that were
becoming obsolete in the early sixteenth century. OCLC locates 5

war. After Lincoln’s first peace overtures were rejected, Foote
resigned from Congress and moved to the Union. Howes, U.S.Iana
