Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Series of Essays on Legal Topics The student who enters upon a course of legal study, has his mind filled in advance with expectation. He has read perhaps the transcendental definition of law by Demosthenes, or by Hooker, or by Montesquieu. He is familiar with the lawyers' boast, that law is a science made up of all the other sciences, the science of sciences! The graduate of a university himself, he does not fail to understand the import of the term. The laws of mathematics which underlie the sciences and give to them the coherence of definite proportion, suggest to him a model. In other sciences, a preliminary stage intervenes to obscure the problem. The hunter must first catch his hare before he can eat him; the investigator must eliminate from the combinations of matter, or circumstance, everything which does not pertain to the essence before he can obtain his elements. The law which governs the elements admits "no variableness, neither shadow of turning," it is fixed and eternal.

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Constitutional Law and Equity, and Other Subjects, Vol. 1 His other favorite subject was Equity. In his hands the traditional dogmas of this classic subject received new life and meaning. In their practical applications to modern problems he took endless satisfaction. Noth ing seemed to give him more of the true scientist's pleas ure than to bring to bear upon some apparently dry and commonplace decision the heavy artillery of Equity's fundamental ideas. In his treatment of such a problem, new dignity was added to it, and the practical importance of a scientific consistency was convincingly revealed.

Download or read book Legal Essays written by James Bradley Thayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal Essays At the time of his death Professor Thayer was actively at work on a second volume on Evidence. This, as he said in the introduction to his "Preliminary Treatise on Evidence at the Common Law," was to be similar in form to the Preliminary Treatise, but "of a more immediately practical character, giving a concise statement of the existing law of evidence." He hoped to finish the book within a year, and he meant then to publish a single volume on Constitutional Law resembling the Preliminary Treatise in its form and general scope. He had collected much material for both books, but it was not in shape for publication, and to one who knew the standards which he set for himself, and his ceaseless labor in revising and perfecting his work, even when it seemed most complete, the attempt to shape his matter by another hand would be little short of desecration. It appears from notes in his diary that he also had it in mind in the meantime to collect in book form some of the essays which he had prepared on many different occasions. The shape in which these were left makes this work possible after his death, and it is of special value from the fact that much of the material which would have gone into the proposed treatise on Constitutional Law may be found in these essays. Thus in a measure they preserve the fruits of his long and deep study of constitutional topics. Some of the essays were prepared for oral delivery, and in some cases for non-professional audiences.

Download or read book Essays in Jurisprudence and Ethics Classic Reprint written by Frederick Pollock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Jurisprudence and Ethics The substance of the following Essays has appeared in divers journals and reviews in the course of the last seven years. My first duty is to return my best thanks to the proprietors and editors of those publica tions for the consent they have freely given to the present reproduction. Some additions and rearrange ments have been made, and a few passages have been worked in from articles on kindred subjects which for one or another reason did not seem worth reprinting separately. No unity of design will be expected in a work thus composed of occasional pieces; but I hope that so much unity of purpose and ideas may nevertheless be found in it as will give it a certain measure of coherence. The essays fall into two divisions, in the first of which legal topics predominate, in the second ethical. In' the first it has been my aim to consider legal ideas and institutions as affected by or affecting the wider interests of history, politics, and practical legislation. In the second I have endeavoured to bring to a better defined issue certain points of ethi cal discussion by the help of distinctions founded on familiar legal conceptions, and by specifically applying those conceptions and distinctions to admitted facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Civil War and Reconstruction: And Related Topics OF the essays included in this volume all but one - that on The Process of Reconstruction - have been published before during the last eleven years: four in the Political Science Quar lerly, one in the Yale Review, and one in the Papers of the American Historical Association. For the purpose of their present appearance all have been subjected to revision, which has resulted in some cases in considerable modifications. The first five essays are devoted immediately to various phases of the Civil War and Reconstruction. The last two, while not concerned exclusively with those topics, have nevertheless such a relation to the legal and political questions treated as to jus tify their inclusion in the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Arbitration and Award England or the United States can furnish any thing in this department of the law of greater value. While that eminent jurist, chief-justice Shaw, was upon the bench, nearly all the opinions in this class of cases emanated from his pen, and it was a subject in respect of which he evinced a peculiar mastery. His Opinions are essays, elaborate, lucid, and convincing. I have made extensive extracts from them, since I have found no other authority so thoroughly satisfactory. I have added no appendix of forms to aid in drafting submissions, awards, &c., for the reason that this assist ance seemed to me wholly needless. All these docu ments, so far as matters of formality go, are such simple instruments that a layman could hardly go wrong in drawing them, and no lawyer could need guidance. In matters of substance, on the other hand, where errors are more naturally made, no general form could be of real use. Mr. Russell's forms are drawn with reference to elaborate English statutes and rules of practice which call for a considerable amount of technical precision. No similar necessity exists among us.

Download or read book Essays on the Constitution of the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Constitution of the United States: Published During Its Discussion by the People, 1787-1788 In 1888 the editor selected from the pamphlet arguments published during the discussion of the Constitution of the United States, prior to its ratification by the States, a collection of fourteen tracts, and printed them in a volume under the title of Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States. The reception given that collection clearly proved that these writings were only neglected because of their rarity and inaccessibility, and has induced the editor to collect another, though largely similar class of writings, which he believes of equal value and equally unknown. In the great discussion which took place in the years 1787 and 1788 of the adoption or rejection of the Constitution of the United States, one of the important methods of influencing public opinion, resorted to by the partisans and enemies of the proposed frame of government, was the contribution of essays to the press of the period. The newspapers were filled with anonymous articles on this question, usually the product of the great statesmen and writers of that period. Often of marked ability, and valuable as the personal views of the writers, the dispersion and destruction of the papers that contained them have resulted in their almost entire neglect as historical or legal writings, and the difficulty of their proper use has been further increased by their anonymous character, which largely destroyed the authority and weight they would have carried, had their true writers been known.
