FOURTH EDITION. Brazil enjoyed a remarkable period of rapid material progress and international importance under Emperors Pedro I and, especially, Pedro II, who reigned from 1831 to 1891. The government enacted a law in 1823 calling for the gradual replacement of the Portuguese Ordenacoes with codes informed by the Enlightenment ideas of the eighteenth century and the work of Jeremy Bentham. A Projecto for commercial law was published in 1836, another in 1838. The code was enacted in 1850 and its ﬁ rst two editions were published in 1858 and 1869. The later editions (1878, 1886, 1896) are the best because they contain extensive commentary. All of these early editions are rare.

EARLY EDITION, ONE OF TWO OTHERWISE-identical imprints by Harris, the other with imprinted date 1703. First published circa 1680–1682, this classic layman’s guide reviews, from a Whig perspective, the principles of English law and government. It emphasizes the role of Magna Carta, Parliament and juries in the preservation of civil rights and prevention of tyranny. First published in America in 1721, it had a profound infl uence on several colonial readers, including the founding fathers. It was the primary source for William Penn’s Excellent Priviledge of Liberty and Property (1687), a work that inspired support for the revolution. George Mason used it when drafting Virginia’s Declaration of Rights (1776). Jefferson, who owned a fi rst edition and another edition, printed in London in 1719, probably referred to it when he wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Its infl uence is also evident in the Bill of Rights. Sowerby 2702, 2703. ESTC N9181.

ONLY EDITION. Among the fi rst American books on political science, Sketches is a study of civil laws and obligations, the social state, rights of property, sovereignty and political power. He published an expanded version of this in 1833 titled The Principles No 35 of Government. Chipman was a Hamiltonian Federalist who played a key role in Vermont’s admission to the Union.

ONLY EDITION. This book was the ﬁ rst digest of the London’s laws and guide to its courts after the revisions of the city laws from 1647 and 1658. A useful work that gathered a great deal of disparate information, it is a valuable resource today for students of seventeenth-century London and its legal system. Probably written by a practitioner, the annotations are corrections, glosses and ampliﬁ cations of points in the text, along with marks and underlining. ESTC R2792.

DE RESTITUTIS, ONLY EDITION; De Fructibus, ﬁ rst edition. Two interesting titles by a little known Parisian lawyer. The ﬁ rst of these, De Restitutis, is an oration on property taxes (civil fruits) in civil law. The second work, De Fructibus, is a treatise on usufruct in Roman and canon law. A second edition of this work was published in 1583. Bibliographically distinct, it appears these two titles were often bound together. Both titles are rare. In North America, OCLC locates no copies of De Restitutis, 1 copy of the 1536 edition of De Fructibus (at Harvard Law School), 2 copies of its 1583 edition (at Princeton University and UC-Berkeley) and 2 copies of the 1636 edition of De Restitutis bound with De Fructibus (at Brigham Young University and Columbia). Neither title in Adams or the BMC.

ONLY EDITION, ONE OF THREE ISSUES, all from 1642. A contemporary account from a Parliamentary perspective on the king’s use of a medieval practice, the appointment of commissions of array, to raise a militia without Parliamentary consent. Considered illegal by Parliamentarians, including the author of this pamphlet. The king’s move was a response to the Militia Act of 1641, which placed militias under Parliamentary control. The King declared, correctly, that this act was illegal because it was passed without royal assent. Both decrees were issued to gain control of existing militia forces and to raise more troops on the eve of the Civil War. This is a scarce title.

HAWKINS’S CLASSIC TREATISE ON CRIMINAL LAW

Early owner signatures to title pages, brief annotations and inkspots to a few leaves in each volume. Handsome. $600.

THIRD EDITION, THE LAST EDITION in the author’s lifetime. Considered one of the four major law books of the eighteenth century by Holdsworth, Pleas is the fi rst comprehensive English treatise on criminal law. A seminal work in criminal procedure and jurisdiction, it is “deservedly of high authority and still cited. It was the starting-point of modern laborious treatises on the criminal law which are valuable as digests of the subject, but which have no advance on Hawkins plan or style” (Winfi eld). HEL XII:415.

DEFINITIVE EDITION, with the fi nal corrections by the author, the so-called “ornaments” edition distinguished by a title page device consisting of an inverted triangle of 25 ornaments grouped in fi ve rows. One of the greatest works of political science, Leviathan analyzes the structure of society and legitimate government and is one of the most infl uential statements of social contract theory (under the rule of an absolute sovereign). Written during the time of the English Civil War, it is notable for its deeply pessimistic view of human nature. The early editions of Leviathan, all with the famous pictorial title page, list the same publisher and publication date: Andrew Crooke, 1651. They are distinguished by slight variations in the spelling of the title and the devices on their title pages. The fi rst has a winged cherub’s head, the second, actually printed in 1678, has a bear grasping two sprays of foliage. It was followed by the present issue. The ESTC gives a publication date of 1680, but some sources place its publication date between 1695 and 1702. Hobbes, Leviathan, ed. Noel Malcom (2014) 312– 316. PMM 138. ESTC R13935. No 89

Quarter cloth over speckled boards, black lettered title to front cover, deckle edges, most signatures unopened. Light shelfwear and soiling. Near-ﬁ ne 5” x 3” presentation card inscribed to Philip Jessup and 8-1/2” x 11” mimeographed typescript presentation letter laid in. $750.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. Collected poems of one of the leading American legal thinkers of the twentieth century. One of these is a tribute to Oliver Wendell Holmes. The presentation letter is in the manner of a press release. It says, in part: “I hope you like them. But if you don’t, send them back and get a check. (...) One thing will interest you: the number of law-men whose letters showed, or shyly confessed, or brazenly announced interest in verse is such as to threaten the existing order. Some unsuspected and insidious propaganda has been poisoning the purer factuality of the profession. Unless something is done about it, and at once, verse-in-lawyers may become respectable.” The part-printed laid-in card features a caricature of a naked Llewellyn (?) sitting cross-legged and gesturing to a motto: “Nothing endures, surely not these. But me they please - Now they are yours.” Below this motto is an autograph inscription to Philip Jessup dated October 7, 1931: “To my friend Phil Jessup, these play- word jingglings, as a contrast to the serious ones of law.” Jessup, a judge on the International Court of Justice, important legal scholar and U.S. diplomat, was credited with playing a major role in ending the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. He was a representative to the United Nations General Assembly, as well as a U.S. ambassador at large from 1949 until his resignation in 1953. Like Llewellyn, he was a professor of law at Columbia University.

Mackenzie was Lord Advocate during the consuetudinary law or, somewhat anachronistically, commercial reigns of Charles II and James II. He is best known for his leading law, lex mercatoria is a system of customary law that developed role in the persecution of Scottish Presbyterians, which earned him in Europe during the middle ages to regulate the dealings of the nickname “Bloody MacKenzie.” (In many cases, he bent the law mariners and merchants. The earliest signifi cant compilations are to secure a conviction.) He was an important jurist, scholar and the eleventh-century Rules of Oleron, the Laws of Wisby and the author, and the founder of the Advocates Library, which is now the Hanseatic Laws of the Sea. Although lex mercatoria fell out of national law library for Scotland. This set collects all of his legal, use during the seventeenth century, many of its principles were historical and literary works except Aretina and The Discovery incorporated into the common law. They would later provide of the Fanatical Plot. The Science of Heraldry is preceded by the foundation of the (U.S.) Uniform Commercial Code. Malynes’ a copperplate pictorial title page and is embellished with 30 Consuetudo was the fi nal signifi cant contribution to this fi eld. copperplates illustrating heraldic devices. Unlike most sets, (Beawes’s Lex Mercatoria Rediviva (1752) was an attempt to revive Volume II of our copy has a portrait frontispiece. ESTC T58793. it.) Malynes was a commissioner of trade in the Low Countries and was frequently consulted by the Privy Council during the reigns of Elizabeth and James, a dynamic period of commercial expansion and colonization. He was one of the fi rst writers on business practice, economic affairs and foreign exchange. These interests are explored at length in this popular book.

Light toning, somewhat heavier in places, some edgewear to fi rst few and fi nal leaves. A handsome volume. $3,500.

ACCORDING TO THE SPINE TITLE and interior notes, this collection of legal works are writings by two eminent Belgian members of the Order of St. Augustin: Bishop Pierre Lambert Ledrou, titular bishop of Porfi reone from 1692 to 1721, and Francois Farvacques. Both men were professors of law at the University of Louvain in the late 1600s and early years of the eighteenth century. The spine title describes the contents as “Dictata,” that is, lessons. The neat hand, clear organization and absence of serious revisions suggest they are lectures or texts for publication. The fi rst parts are lessons by Ledrou. It begins with an 8-page introduction with descriptions of 13 cases. The following section (c. 50 ff.) is headed “Tractatus de Legibus Quid Lex et Quotuplex.” It has neat additions and marginal notes in the same hand as the main text. The following lesson, which is foliated from 1–182, is titled “Caput Primum de Jure et Justitia in Genere de Dominio, Nec non de Modis Illud Acquirendi-Quaestio Prima Quid et Quotuplex sit Justitia.’ This is followed by a 50 ff. theological text titled: “Tractatus de Sacramento Poenitentiae.” The second half of the volume consists of writings by Farvacques. The fi rst part of his writings is headed “Caput Primum. De Jurisdictione Oria in Ministro Sacramenti Penitentie, c. 130 ff. The fi nal treatise is in possibly the same hand as the fi rst part of the volume, on 63 numbered ff. These sections deal mostly with points of canon law. The emphasis on St. Augustine appears to have had a history at the University of Louvain in the teaching of Michael Baius [d. 1584]. This theology focused on Augustine’s thought regarding grace and creation, and it produced a pessimistic view of humanity in its fallen state. In this respect Baius shared Reformation ideas while opposing the idea of sacramental restoration of humanity from this state. Another exponent of Louvain’s strain of Augustinianism was Cornelius Jansen [1585–1638], the father of Jansenism. Based on several pamphlet publications of the period, the two authors in our manuscript appear to have also been involved in some of the theological controversies of the time.

Southward. In the 19th century, Edward Everett was celebrated as a preacher and public orator. He is most famous for delivering a two-hour oration in 1863 at the dedication of the Gettysburg military cemetery. Everett’s speech was subsequently eclipsed by President Abraham Lincoln’s immortal, two-minute Gettysburg Address. At the time this letter was written Shaw had already served in both houses of the Massachusetts Legislature and had drafted the fi rst charter of the City of Boston. In 1830, he became the Chief Justice of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He served on that court for 30 years and participated in such notable cases as the “Parkman-Webster” murder case and in Commonwealth v. Hunt, an important labor law precedent establishing that labor unions were not criminal conspiracies.

TERMINORUM, FOURTH EDITION; Examinandi, second edition. Often bound together, the two handbooks in this volume describe the practice of the mixed secular (civil and criminal) and ecclesiastical courts in the Papal States. First published in 1585, it went through six editions, the last one in 1647. Parisio’s Terminorum describes the nature and jurisdictions of the different courts, including the Rota Romana. Amico’s Examinandi discusses criminal procedure, with sections on evidence, trial procedure and the use of torture. It was ﬁ rst published in 1604 and went through four editions, the last one in 1647. All editions of both titles are very scarce, rare if you omit holdings in European libraries.

It was originally written in Law French with the Latin title Expositiones Terminorum Legum Anglorumae. Later editions were produced by his son, William. Quite popular with students and lawyers due to its clarity and concision, it went through at least twenty-fi ve editions by 1721. A fi nal reissue appeared in 1819. As Marvin observes, it is a useful dictionary because it “refl ects the common law at the close of the year-book period with much fi delity.”: Marvin 599. ESTC S122305.

ONLY EDITION. Captain Clark was convicted of murder and sentenced to death after he fatally shot Captain Innes in a duel. He received a royal pardon almost immediately afterwards. The trial, reported in detail and apparently verbatim, is remarkable for the number of distinguished character witnesses produced for the defence. These include Lord Southwell, Admiral Martin, Admiral Bing, Admiral Fox, Lord Montague Bertie, Sir John Cross and several naval captains. This account was reprinted in Dublin in 1750.

A RARE INDEPENDENT PRINTING of infamous Décret No. 1809 of the 9 Brumaire of Year 2 (October 30, 1793) intended for public distribution. Women played an active role in the revolution, both as individuals and as members of such female organizations as the Société des Citoyennes Républicaines Révolutionnaires and Société des Républicaines Révolutionnaires. Many of these women were motivated, at least in part, by a desire to create a society that would offer political and civil rights to women, a cause promoted by female organizations in the opening phases of the Revolution. When the Jacobins seized control, they suppressed this movement. The ﬁ rst step was the decree offered here, which abolished “les clubs & sociétés populaires de femmes” in October 1793. Afterwards, their leaders were arrested and the movement was crushed. About a decade later the Napoleonic Code would cement the second-class status of French women.

In the second place, he so clearly defi ned it that no one in the future could be under any misapprehension as to its scope. [BOUND WITH] In the third place, he originated the modern division of the subject into Peace and War.” He notes, moreover, that “in his book [ZOUCH, RICHARD]. the tradition, inherited from the medieval books, of grouping the whole subject round the rules of war, was fi nally abandoned.” The Specimen Quaestionum, Iuris Civilis cum Designatione infl uence of this study beyond the seventeenth century is evident Authorum a Quibus in Utramque partem Discutiuntur. in its inclusion in the series Classics of International Law by the Carnegie Foundation (Washington, 1911).

Now with nearly 400 new and updated entries and over 120 illustrations and maps, this revised and expanded edition of this impressive encyclopedia shows in detail the lively, contentious, four-month process that produced the United States Constitution. With fascinating detailed portraits of the Framers, we are taken behind the scenes into the ﬁ ery debates between powerful personalities and the hard-fought battles and compromises that resulted in one of the most important documents in history.

Drawing on original sources and a wealth of secondary works and recent scholarship, updated entries and dozens of illuminating side boxes present a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the Constitutional Convention.

Features include:

◆ Two chronologies: day-to-day events at the Convention and important dates leading up to it ◆ Detailed individual profi les of the delegates and excerpts from accounts of their debates ◆ Information that brings the events of the Convention to life such as the delegates' salaries, housing, daily schedule, how appointed, their backgrounds, their personal and legislative motivations, the mechanism of how the Convention and its committees worked ◆ How the creation of states, their legislations, plans and constitutions all contributed to the fi nal document ◆ Analysis of Convention discussion of dominant historical and philosophical infl uences and themes and how and why they were included in the Constitution ◆ A thorough appendix containing original documents and text of important speeches ◆ Suggested readings for each entry, cross-references, a topical table of contents, an up-to-date and thorough bibliography, index.

These two volumes provide a complete guide to a pivotal moment in the formation of the United States—the Constitutional Convention—that created one of the most important documents in history, the United States Constitution.

{ PUBLICATIONS 117 The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case NEW A Critical Analysis of the Trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann

James M. Dedman III and George R. Dekle, Sr.

Talbot Publishing (an imprint of The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.), 2016 xvii, 394 pp. ISBN 978-1-61619-533-5 Hardcover $75.

The kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. touched off one of the most massive manhunts in the history of American crime detection and generated so much publicity at home and abroad that it was touted as the “Crime of the Century.” The arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann in connection with the kidnapping inevitably led to the “Trial of the Century.” Although Hauptmann was almost universally detested at the time of the trial, the tide of public opinion began to change with his conviction. In the decades following Hauptmann’s execution, writers have advanced one theory after another seeking to pin the blame upon various members of the Lindbergh household and others. Almost every aspect of the crime and the investigation has been examined and critiqued-with one exception. No one has written a critical analysis of the trial itself. This book seeks to remedy that omission with an investigation and evaluation of the marshalling, presentation, and arguing of the evidence, and a study of the post-conviction litigation.

This innovative book includes:

◆ A thorough analysis of the evidence presented at trial by both the prosecution and defense ◆ A comprehensive critique of the performance of the lawyers ◆ A discussion of inculpatory scientiﬁ c evidence available to, but not used by, the prosecution ◆ A section listing the major protagonists in the investigation and trial ◆ A time line ◆ A modular analysis of the prosecution case ◆ A table of cases.

After extensive experience in defending and prosecuting criminal cases, JAMES M. DEDMAN III, a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Law, taught theory-based trial advocacy for the National College of District Attorneys for twenty-eight years at the University of Houston Law Center and the University of South Carolina National Advocacy Center.

GEORGE R. DEKLE, SR. retired in 2016 from a ten-year career as a legal skills professor at the Levin College of Law, University of Florida. Before that he served for thirty years as an assistant state attorney in the Third Judicial Circuit of Florida, where he investigated and prosecuted hundreds of homicide cases. Dekle has authored several books on trial advocacy and legal history.
