* With its origins in the seventeenth century, the Maryland Court of Appeals is one of the oldest in the United States. Located in the middle of the east coast, it was confronted with most of the key legal issues that affected the colonies and early United States. Bond's was the first history of the court from its origins around 1649 to the adoption of the state's current constitution in 1867. A valuable study, it is based almost entirely on primary sources. Bond [1873-1943] was the Chief Justice of the Court from 1924 to the end of his life.

The first and second discuss of the nature and origin of the English constitution and the constitutional government of the United States in the same way. The third is a comparison of the conceptions of sovereignty in France, England, and the United States, as illustrated by their constitutions. Read in conjunction with Dicey's introduction it offers a stimulating theoretical study of these influential constitutions and their similarities and differences.

of seventh edition of the first American law dictionary, distinctive
for its particular emphasis on American law. Compiled by John
Bouvier [1787-1851], this legal classic went through fifteen
editions during the nineteenth century alone, the final appearing in
1886. New editions continued in the twentieth century, most notably
three that were edited by Francis Rawle, the last of which appeared
in 1914. "During his years of study [Bouvier] had discovered the
handicap under which the student and lawyer labored at that time due
to the lack of a dictionary containing legal information logically
and conveniently compiled. He began work on a great dictionary and
indefatigably applied himself to it, in spite of increasing
duties... Nevertheless, in 1839, he was able to give his completed
dictionary to fill the need of the profession. [In it] he sought to
cover all legal subjects and terms arising under such a title,
giving citations from federal and state courts.": Dictionary of

with the issues that arose as a consequence of the purchase of
Louisiana. For example, an issue of far-reaching significance is the
issue of slavery that was raised and debated decades before it
became the issue that divided the country during the Senate debate
on the Louisiana Government Bill. This work offers the first
published account of that important debate.

* As a member of the first United States Senate Ellsworth [1745-1807] supported Alexander Hamilton's policies and was the main author of the Judiciary Act of 1789. He became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1796. During his brief tenure, which ended in 1799 due to poor health, Ellsworth worked to expand the authority of the federal courts and extend common law procedures in appeals to equity and admiralty cases. With limited success he tried to initiate the policy of the Court's handing down per curiam opinions for the entire court rather than seriatim opinions by individual justices. Originally published in 1905, Brown's biography remains the standard account of Ellsworth's life and work.

Burke [1729-1797] is considered a founder of modern conservatism. This is true to some extent, but not quite. He believed in popular government and recognized the inevitability of change. Indeed, he believed that a state that could not adapt to change was a state doomed to failure.

of the first English edition. Burlamaqui [1694-1748], a Swiss jurist
and professor of civil and natural law at Geneva, outlined a
constitutional system based on principles similar to those of the
American founding fathers. "Burlamaqui formulated the principles of
popular sovereignty, of delegated power, of a constitution as a
fundamental law, of a personal and functional separation of powers
into three independent departments... and finally, he provided for
an institutional guardian of the fundamental law" (Harvey).
Burlamaqui's other great achievement was to put Pufendorf's theories
into systematic form. Marvin stated a general opinion when he
observed that "his works are deservedly held in high esteem."
Blackstone was one of many jurists influenced by Burlamaqui's work.

Intended to be a practical tool, Burn [1709-1785] eliminated several
French definitions found in earlier dictionaries that were made
obsolete by George II's 1733 decree that writs and pleadings were to
be given in English. The elimination of these entries seems to have
cleared space for other material and longer entries. Indeed, Burn's
articles on such subjects as judgment, jury, purchase and will are
broader, more detailed and better organized than they are in earlier
dictionaries of this kind. It is unclear whether Burn intended to
publish this book; it was edited, expanded and published
posthumously by his son, John Burn [1744?-1802].

in the Yale Law Review, J.P. Bullington observes that "[t]he
most striking feature about this work is the method of
treatment--quite the most effective which has yet been employed in
dealing with the subject. Believing that the changes in
international law have been the reflection of changes in the
political theory and practice of states, the author has divided his
work into three major periods--the Age of the Prince, the Age of the
Judge, and the Age of the Concert... Based on a wide knowledge of
history filtered through an objective and realistic brain, this book
must take its place as one of the most valuable contributions to the
history of international law." Yale Law Review 38:843 quoted

* A title in the Lawbook Exchange series Foundations of the Laws of War. "De Rebus Bellicus" addresses the customs of war on land and on sea. A notably humane work, it condemns actions against civilians and advocates the fair treatment of prisoners of war. Du Ponceau's able translation is prefaced by a biography of the author, a table of cases, an index of citations from the Corpus Juris Civilis and an annotated bibliography of civil law treatises cited or referred to by the author. This latter item, which lists editions and translations, is interesting for its insights into the American reception of the civil law in the early 1800s. One of the most important jurists and international lawyers of his time, Bynkershoek [1673-1743] was an influential Dutch jurist who founded the positive school of international law, which held that usage and practice were more important than deductions drawn from natural law. Du Ponceau [1760-1844], who was Baron von Steuben's secretary during the revolutionary War, is an important figure in the early history of American Law and letters. He founded the Law Academy of Philadelphia in 1821, was the President of the American Philosophical Society and was a much-consulted expert on international relations and linguistics.

* The Sovereign Council was a governmental body established by France in 1663 to administer its colony in the St. Lawrence Valley. Unusually powerful for a colonial government, the council was the primary legislative and legal authority of New France. It had the power to select judges and minor officials, control public funds and commerce with the mother country, regulate the fur trade and set policy on local affairs. Cahall treats the council's history, organization, procedure and functions, assesses its effectiveness and evaluates its achievements and failures.

government. He also shared Tocqueville's belief that the United
States is a testing ground for the forces shaping the modern world.
Chambrun's study of the federal government's executive branch offers
a number of interesting observations. He doubts the value of the
vice-presidency and argues that quadrennial elections promote
liberty by creating momentary periods of political instability. He
offers equally interesting observations on such topics as the Civil
War, the impeachment of President Johnson and the relationship
between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.

* This
volume provides a unique legal and historical record. It is an exact
reprint of an 1881 compilation, originally published by the Cherokee
National Council, of "the laws of the Cherokee Nation now in force."
These laws -- the 1839 constitution of the Cherokee Nation and the
basic laws passed under it -- provided the framework for the
government of the Cherokee Nation from 1839 until the early 1900s,
when the Cherokees' independence was ended by the United States
Congress. Within scarcely more than a generation, the Cherokees
consciously transformed themselves from being a society that lived
under an age-old, unwritten set of norms and traditional cultural
practices to one governed by a written constitution and code of
statutes. The Cherokees made this transformation in the vain hope
that it would make it easier for them to live peacefully surrounded
by the United States. They closely modeled their constitution in
most respects on the United States Constitution. Yet there are some
fascinating differences concerning the judiciary and land ownership. Contained
in this volume are the Cherokees' 1839 constitution along with
amendments to it necessitated by the 1866 treaty between the
Cherokee Nation and the United States; the 1838 Act of Union between
the Eastern and Western Cherokees; numerous basic laws and
miscellaneous acts covering a huge variety of subjects from the
duties of the principal chief to the killing of game; agreements
between the Cherokees and the Creeks and Osages, Delawares, and
Shawnees; and an appendix containing documents relating to the
boundaries of the Cherokee Nation as defined by agreements with the
United States.

* Reprint of the 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 his Legal Bibliography (1847) Marvin criticized Chipman for "show[ing] what the law of contracts ought to be rather than what the law of contracts is" (189). This remark indicates 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 [1765-1850] 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.
