Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Principles of Law The aim of this book is to set out in as plain and simple a manner as possible, and' in what the author ventures to think 18 a somewhat more philosophical arrangement than the usually accepted one of Blackstone, the most general and elementary principles of the law. It was written primarily for the use of the author's students beginning the study of the law; but it is hoped that it may be of service to students of law elsewhere, as well as possibly to readers who without intending to become lawyers wish to get a knowledge in outline of the nature and methods of legal science. It is not designed to take the place of the laiger and more complete treatises with which students generally, begin the1r legal studies, but rather to be used in connec tion with them: and for this reason many subjects have been omitted, such as Agency, Partnership and the greater part of the Law of Persons, which, though 01 the greatest interest and importance in themselves, may still be looked upon as being, so to speak, detachable from the main fabric of legal principles and affording merely special applications of rules and principles which the student ought to understand before he comes to the study of those special branches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of the Law of Evidence N preparing this Edition for the Press we have not departed from the lines on which the previous Editions were based. We have considered all the cases upon the subjects dealt with in this Book which have been reported since the last Edition down to April, 1904, and have incorporated such of them as we deemed of sufficient importance in this Edition, and have also incorporated a few cases reported since that date. We have eliminated certain matters mainly of historical interest, and have other wise compressed the present Edition, so that in spite of the very considerable amount of new matter introduced into this Edition it will be found to be shorter by several pages than the previous Edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the Law of Contract I have little to say in offering the eleventh edition of this book to the public. The preface to the sixth edition, which I leave as it was written in 1891, will explain, to any one who may be interested in the matter, the origin and purpose of the book. I have endeavored in the eleventh edition to bring the book up to date, to introduce new authorities with the least possible enlargement of the text, to simplify passages that seemed obscure, and to preserve the character of an ele mentary treatise. I have again to thank my friend Mr. Graham-harrison, of All Souls College and of Lincoln's Inn, for valuable help in the suggestion of improvements, in advice on points of difficulty, in correction, and in revision.

Download or read book The Principles of International Law Classic Reprint written by Thomas Joseph Lawrence and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of International Law The story I have to tell will be found in the text. I have not relegated important matter to notes, nor printed on my pages long quotations from other authors or excerpts from original authorities. I have preferred the much more labo rions task of extracting their substance and putting it in my own words into the body of the book, which I trust has gained thereby in both the decrease of bulk and increase of readableness. But I have taken care to provide the means of checking my assertions. At the bottom of nearly every page will be found references, by the use of which teachers and students can amplify or correct the statements in the text and men of aflairs obtain the more detailed information they may want for practical purposes. The notes are, I h0pe, sufficient. My object has been to make them adequate without over loading them with matter. I have not, for instance, referred to a large number of writers of all degrees of authority, when the citation of a few great ones gave the necessary support to my argument; nor have I quoted a dozen cases, when one or two were enough. I have also taken care that most of the cases given in the text should be something more than mere names to my readers. The material facts are almost always described, so that the points of law may be seen inviii preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Principles of the Constitutional Law of the United States Classic Reprint written by Westel W. Willoughby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the Constitutional Law of the United States This volume is an abridgment of the author's larger treatise in two volumes, published in 1910 under the title The Constitutional Law of the United States. The aim has been to present the general principles of our constitutional jurisprudence in a form suitable for class-room use. In pursuance of this aim care has been taken to cite those cases which not only support the positions stated in the text but which Will best repay individual examination and study by the student. In particular the effort has been made to suggest, and in a measure to discuss, the unsettled questions of our Federal jurisprudence. The necessary limits of space have prevented in many instances an adequate presentation of the arguments supporting the doctrines stated, but, from a pedagogic point of view this may be a merit rather than a defect, for it will furnish opportunity for a presentation by the students of the court's reasoning as gained by a reading of the cases, and a criticism by the instructor of the reasoning as thus pre sented.

Download or read book First Principles written by Thomas E. Ricks and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Editors' Choice —New York Times Book Review "Ricks knocks it out of the park with this jewel of a book. On every page I learned something new. Read it every night if you want to restore your faith in our country." —James Mattis, General, U.S. Marines (ret.) & 26th Secretary of Defense The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a revelatory new book about the founding fathers, examining their educations and, in particular, their devotion to the ancient Greek and Roman classics—and how that influence would shape their ideals and the new American nation. On the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Thomas Ricks awoke with a few questions on his mind: What kind of nation did we now have? Is it what was designed or intended by the nation’s founders? Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders’ thinking, and the letters they wrote to each other debating these crucial works—among them the Iliad, Plutarch’s Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid the influence of English political philosophers, like John Locke, closer to their own era, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world. The first four American presidents came to their classical knowledge differently. Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams from the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madison, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and distinctive learning, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, looking at them in the unusual light of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew. First Principles follows these four members of the Revolutionary generation from their youths to their adult lives, as they grappled with questions of independence, and forming and keeping a new nation. In doing so, Ricks interprets not only the effect of the ancient world on each man, and how that shaped our constitution and government, but offers startling new insights into these legendary leaders.

Download or read book Principles of the Law of Damages Classic Reprint written by Hugh Evander Willis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the Law of Damages The general purpose of this new book on the law of Damages is like the purpose of the book on the law of Contracts by the same author, to give a complete treatise on the subject in a small volume. All the fundamental principles of the law of Damages are summarized in rules, or propositions of'law. Explanations are given for these propositions of law, with reasons therefor, together with criticisms thereof, whenever in the judgment of the author the rules are the subject of criticism. In order to further elucidate the propositions, copious illustrations are given, showing the application of the same. Under such a plan it is hoped that anyone reading the book will obtain a thorough understanding of the law of Damages. For the convenience of the reader the propositions of law, explanations and illustrations, are printed in different type. The illustrations used are founded upon the cases selected by Professor Beale and by Professor Mechem for their case books on Damages and upon such other cases as the author has deemed it expedient to incorporate in the vdume.

Download or read book First Things written by Hadley Arkes and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book restores to us an understanding that was once settled in the "moral sciences": that there are propositions, in morals and law, which are not only true but which cannot be otherwise. It was understood in the past that, in morals or in mathematics, our knowledge begins with certain axioms that must hold true of necessity; that the principles drawn from these axioms hold true universally, unaffected by variations in local "cultures"; and that the presence of these axioms makes it possible to have, in the domain of morals, some right answers. Hadley Arkes restates the grounds of that older understanding and unfolds its implications for the most vexing political problems of our day. The author turns first to the classic debate between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. After establishing the groundwork and properties of moral propositions, he traces their application in such issues as selective conscientious objection, justifications for war, the war in Vietnam, a nation's obligation to intervene abroad, the notion of supererogatory acts, the claims of "privacy," and the problem of abortion.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation Classic Reprint written by Jeremy Bentham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation The following sheets were, as the note on the opposite page expresses, printed so long ago as the year 1780. The design, in pursuance of which they were written, was not so extensive as that announced by the present title. They had at that time no other destination than that of serving as an introduction to a plan of a penal code in terminis, designed to follow them, in the same volume. The body of the work had received its completion according to the then present extent of the author's views, when, in the investigation of some flaws he had discovered, he found himself unexpectedly entangled in an unsuspected corner of the meta physical maze. A suspension, at first not apprehended to be more than a temporary one, necessarily ensued: suspension brought on coolness, and coolness, aided by other concurrent causes, ripened into disgust. Imperfections pervading the whole mass had already been pointed out by the sincerity of severe and discerning friends; and conscience had certified the-justness of their censure. The inordinate length of some of the chapters, the apparent inutility of others, and the dry and metaphysical turn of the whole, suggested an apprehension, that, if published in its present form, the work would contend under great disadvantages for any chance, it might on other accounts possess, of being read, and consequently of being of use.
