Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Courts of Pennsylvania This account of the early courts of Pennsylvania is the outcome of some lectures delivered as an auxiliary course in the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania. Their purpose was to describe briefly the establishment and development of the courts in the colonial period. That our ancestors should have expressed such profound admiration for the common law while deviating so widely from it in practice, must have puzzled many who have not learned to put a true value upon the flights of forensic oratory. History alone supplies the key, and colonial legal history has not received the attention it deserves. The absence of reports, the destruction of many records and the inaccessibility of those that have been preserved, have all contributed to discourage work in a field usually abandoned to the antiquarian. But as American law increases in importance, the story of its obscure beginnings will require careful consideration.

Book excerpt: This volume, which is a part of the University of Pennsylvania Law School Series, constitutes a commendable effort to contribute to the understanding of the historic development of American law. As the author states, colonial legal history has not received the attention it deserves. It is, indeed, a rich field in which nearly every phase of judicial and legislative law-making is illustrated. The history of the colony of Pennsylvania is especially interesting, as it takes its beginning with the political and legal ideas of Penn. The author has studied the development of the entire system of courts in Pennsylvania down to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The work is founded upon direct research in all the available sources. The value of this book is enhanced by the manner of treatment; the author does not confine himself to a study of the organization of courts, but in dealing with their jurisdiction and methods, he presents an abundance of interesting material which throws light upon the general development of law in the colonial era and the early decades of the Commonwealth. The book is thus of permanent value, and constitutes a building stone in the slowly growing edifice of American legal history. -University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Vol. 59

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Courts and Lawyers of Pennsylvania, Vol. 2: A History, 1623-1923 At another time, Mr. Lewis, who was also a firm man, and had, for the most part, great influence with the court, prefaced a motion which he was about to make, by saying, that the subject was so uncommon that he scarcely knew in what form to present the application; to which the judge harshly answered, You have been more than twenty years at the bar, Sir, and if you don't understand how to make a motion, you had better consult your books, and learn. It need hardly be remarked, whatever may have been his deficiency in civility, that he was a judge of great decision and force of character. During the course of his long judicial life, he never wavered in what his duty seemed to require. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Courts and Lawyers of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1: A History, 1623-1923 It is hoped that the sketches of the lives of the judges will be found reasonably complete, though brief. N o sketches are given of a number of judges now upon the bench, but in all such cases applications to such judges for biographical data have been ignored and the writer has been unable to obtain the necessary information otherwise. In a work of so much detail, minor errors are unavoidable. It is hoped, however, that such errors are not numerous, and none or very few would have occurred but for the fact that most of the members of the bars of the several districts to whom the writer has applied for informa tion have ignored his letters. He feels that he has special cause to com plain of the members of the Committee on Legal Biography of the State Bar Association, but three of whom out of a dozen or more to whom he applied for data concerning judges of their districts having replied to his inquiries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Chief Justice Ellis Lewis, 1798-1871: Of the First Elective Supreme Court of Pennsylvania I desire at this point to reply to numerous inquiries regarding my relation to certain other works which I have long had in hand. The Life of Chief Justice Lewis made plain to me the strategic importance of the rise and fall of Democracy in Pennsylvania, because of its relation to the nation, and again postponing publication of David Lloyd (on which I was grateful enough to have more time), I undertook a Life and Times of Pennsylvania's candidate for vice-president against Van Buren, William Wilkins, which will be in press during the present year. My years of study of Lloyd was paralleled by a like study of a figure of even greater power as a constitution-maker, namely, James Wilson. A Life of Wilson was so con siderable a project that I had placed it some time in the future. The appreciation which I found here and there for this pre-eminent statesman, however, in my efforts to have the state and nation join in honoring his memory in the removal of his remains to Christ Church, Philadel phia, was so genuine, so widespread and so abundant that I have yielded to the urgency of my friend, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, and others, and arranged to undertake a full and authoritative Life and Works of James Wilson during the present year. The preparation of a Life of Lloyd will follow immediately after that of Wilson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reflections Upon the Administration of Justice in Pennsylvania A citizen of New York not long ago re marked to me, that, wherever he had been in Pennsylvania, he heard complaints of the bad administration of the laws. In New York, he said, these complaints were not heard. The people there were not only satisfied with their courts of justice, but seemed to take a pride in them. It must be Something unusual that would delay the decision of a suit, in that state, longer than a twelvemonth; and, alarge majority of the causes was disposed of in nine, and many of them in six, months after they were brought. And yet, he said, the sys tems of law in the two states were the same, or did not materially differ. Each, state had, in an equal degree, its republican institutions and manners. Each has also had an equallyrepublican administration of its government. New York boasts her attachment to the freest systems in politics and jurisprudence, Her Clintons, her Livingstons, her Spencers have been her public servants. These are the men in whose hands her interests have prospered. How then does It happen that, in two contigu ous states, possessing the same kind of gov ernment and giving their confidence to the same kind of men, there should be, in a mat ter so essential, this striking difference; that in the one, the laws should be so administered as to yield benefits to all, while, in the other, their tardy or oppressive execution are the subject of universal complaint.
