As this copy's condition perhaps reflects, he used this book as a reference for a section on Field in his Pulitzer-winning study The Age of Jackson (1945). He describes Field there as "the outstanding figure among the law reformers" and a key representative of "the impact of Jacksonian democracy on the law." Schlesinger, The Age of Jackson 332, 333.
