SOLE EDITION. The American merchant marine thrived during the early years of the Napoleonic wars. Remaining neutral and trading freely with Great Britain and France, who were occupied with warfare rather than commerce, American traders contributed greatly to the expansion of the U.S. economy. Beginning in 1805, however, France and Great Britain began to restrict and punish U.S. trade to their enemies. President Jefferson responded with Non-Intercourse and Embargo Acts (1807, 1809), which aimed for a restoration of free American trade through economic pressure. It had a devastating effect on the U.S. economy and was extremely unpopular in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, which had beneﬁ ted the most from the maritime economy. Tried in Salem, MA, United States v. Brigantine William was, in effect, a referendum on Jefferson’s embargo. The decision, reported at 28 Federal Cases 615 (D.C., D. Mass. 1808), upheld the constitutionality of the embargo laws. Cohen 11226.

ONLY EDITION, one of two issues (the other in Volume III of the American Law Journal). A translation of De Rebus Bellicus, part one of Bynkershoek’s Quaestiones Juris Publici (1737), A Treatise on the Law of War addresses the customs of land and sea warfare. 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 was an inﬂ uential 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 is an important ﬁ gure 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. Cohen 7166.

SECOND EDITION. This was the last of Story’s great treatises. Like the others, it was a standard work in the United States and, to some extent, Great Britain. Warren, in Law Studies, said it is “a truly luminous exposition of a subject noted for its intricacy, and the subtlety of the rules upon which the system depends” (451). It was a deeply inﬂ uential work as well. Pound, in The Formative Era of American Law, included it in his list of texts that were “a signiﬁ cant force in our legal development” (140). Cohen 9322.

father’s death in 1845 that led him to abandon law and become a professional sculptor. The trustees of Mt. Auburn cemetery elected him to sculpt a likeness of his father for the cemetery’s memorial chapel. “To prepare himself to carry out this commission he went to Italy in 1847 and from that time forth became more and more eager to give up the law entirely in favor of sculpture.” (Gardner). Perhaps his best-known work is the iconic statue of Joseph Story that graces the entrance to Langdell Hall at Harvard Law School. The fact that this was sent under Daniel Webster’s free frank is odd. Presumably Story had his own franking privilege. Perhaps he left Washington in a hurry, giving Webster his letters to mail.

More important, Blackstone’s research into the original texts demonstrated that all earlier editions of the charter were based on the signifi cantly different reissue of 1225, in the reign of Henry III, rather than the original one endorsed at Runnymede. His philological approach was highly infl uential; it established the textual focus that has governed subsequent study of the charter. Eller notes that Worrall’s Bibliotheca Legum Angliae (1788) lists an edition from 1758 with the title Magna Charta and Charta de Foresta. She was not able to locate any copies, however.

Because he had had a legal education he was, he tells us ‘soon apply’d to by his neighbours, as a person able to advise them in the many doubts and diffi culties that daily occurred to them.’ (...)

THOMAS LUND The Creation of the Common Law The Medieval Year Books Deciphered

IN THIS MODERN COMPILATION AND COMMENTARY, the most important medieval cases are paraphrased and analyzed, making this interesting and entertaining litigation accessible to everyone. Although Maitland’s classic History of English Law ends at Henry III’s death, until now no one has explained in clear modern language the transformative events that followed. After Edward I became king, Chief Justice Bereford took charge of the legal system, and created law in accord with his own sense of justice. The book puts his innovations into the context of contemporary American and English law.

THOMAS LUND, a Professor at the S. J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah, was educated at Horace Mann School, Harvard College, Columbia Law School, and Oxford University. His book American Wildlife Law was published in 1980. An Environmental Affairs review described Lund as “probably the leading authority on the history of wildlife law.” Lund has written about medieval law for many years. xx, 371 pp. Hardcover 2015 Talbot Publishing ISBN 9781616195045 $75.

It is believed that the rule of law is about more than the arbitrary for just this reason that this masterful compilation machinations of politicians.

Beautifully encapsulated in paraphrase, the cases preserve the urgency The goal of Thomas Lund’s Creation of the Common Law and spontaneity of the arguments....
