Lex Mercatoria Rediviva; Or, A Complete Code of Commercial Law:
Being a General Guide to All Men in Business; Whether as Traders,
Remitters, Owners, Freighters, Captains, Insurers, Brokers, Factors,
Supercargoes, or Agents. With an Account of Our Mercantile
Companies; Our Colonies and Factories Abroad; Our Commercial
Treaties with Foreign Powers; the Duty of Consuls, And of the Laws
Concerning Aliens, Naturalization, and Denization. To Which Is
Added, a Sketch of the Present State of the Commerce of the Whole
World; Compiled from the works of the most celebrated British and
Foreign Commercial Writers. Dublin: Printed for John Rice [et.
al.], 1795. 2 Vols. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange.
* Reprint of the sixth edition. Considerably enlarged and improved
by Thomas Mortimer. Beawes [fl. 1775] was a merchant and his book
was intended to be “a guide to all men in business.” Nonetheless the
Lex Mercatoria was often cited in court, and its authority
formed the basis of several decisions. It was especially influential
in the United States, where, according to Kent, it was considered
“an authority in mercantile customs.”: Kent, Commentaries on
American Law III:126.

Edward H.
Spartan Education. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1942.
xi, 164 pp. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.
* Warren [1873-1945], a former associate at Cadwallader and Stong,
was a legendary professor at Harvard Law School. Known as “Bull”
Warren for his manner in questioning students, he was the primary
model for Professor Kingsfield in The Paper Chase. Spartan
Education offers a fascinating account of Harvard Law School
from the turn of the century to the 1940s, colorful sketches of his
professors and Mr. Cadwallader and a summary of his “Spartan”
approach to pedagogy. Warren also includes the texts of various
addresses and articles dealing with Harvard, legal history, the
American Bar and political topics. This is a reprint of the 1942
edition, which was strictly limited to 1000 copies. (Despite
requests for additional copies Warren refused to reissue the book
instead publishing an abridged edition.) Warren attended Harvard
College from 1891 to 1895 and Harvard Law School from 1897 to 1900,
where his principal instructors were Ames, Gray, Smith and Thayer.
After four years at Strong and Cadwalader, he joined the Harvard Law
faculty, where he remained until his retirement.
