History

HardPress Limited

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes's "The Common Law" is considered the greatest treatise on the law ever written by an American. As Editor Mark Howe explains, it is not merely a work of legal history but also a profound philosophical work that argued on behalf of a pragmatic Anglo-American theory of law (that focussed on sanctioning an individual for the injury done to common good) against a romantic Kantian and Hegelian outlook (that introduced subjective considerations of the morality and virtue of the accused and victim). 338 pages with index.

Legal History

Belknap Press

[This is the Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.][Read by Robert Morris]  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., is considered one of the greatest justices of the United States Supreme Court and profoundly influenced American jurisprudence, especially in the areas of civil liberties and judicial restraint. At the same time, his abilities as a prose stylist earned him a position among the literary elite.  In The Common Law, derived from a series of lectures given at the Lowell Institute in Boston, he systematized his early legal doctrines, creating an enduring classic of legal philosophy that continues to be read and consulted today. Beginning with historical forms of liability, it goes on to discuss criminal law, torts, bail, possession and ownership, contracts, successions, and many other aspects of civil and criminal law. Holmes brought law to modernity by establishing it as a function of history and policy, not just logic and precedent. Avoiding specialized language of his own or any other era, Holmes explains concepts with scintillating clarity. This is a lucid, accessible, and continually relevant sourcebook for students and laymen alike.

Excerpt from Collected Legal Papers This collection has been made by the kindness of a friend, Mr. Harold J. Laski, and I owe him thanks for gathering these little fragments of my &#64258;eece that I have left upon the hedges of life. They are printed as they appeared and I have been unable to do more than run my eye over them, but I am glad to see them put together in a book, as they offer some views of law and life that I have not expressed elsewhere so fully. The place of original publication is given at the head of each paper, and I thank the several publishers for their assent to the reprint. A later generation has carried on the work that I began nearly half a century ago, and it is a great pleasure to an old warrior Who cannot expect to bear arms much longer, that the brilliant young soldiers still give him a place in their councils of war.
