Published during a vital evolutionary period in American jurisprudence, this work served as an essential bridge for nineteenth-century lawyers translating foundational English maxims into an increasingly codified American statutory landscape. The volume stands as an enduring reference work by a formidable figure in American legal history; Frederic Jesup Stimson (1855-1943) was a Harvard Law graduate, Harvard's first professor of comparative legislation, and the U.S. Ambassador to Argentina. He remains a pioneering authority on state constitutional law and the author of the landmark American Statute Law.
