Commentaries on American Law, Volume 1

The author's aim was to instruct students of American jurisprudence in the fundamentals of that system. Admirably adapted to the needs of such, his treatise addressed itself to those most ardent of students, practitioners themselves. Hence it soon attained, and since has held, the distinction of the best general treatise on American law. Herein are presented, as parts of an organic whole, the international relations of our government, its constitutional organization, and the legal results flowing from the exercise of its executive, legislative, and judicial functions. Without deviation from its systematic course, the discussion passes from the Union to the States united, and finally dwells upon the myriad relations of private life, personal and proprietary. To this source, consequently, students resort for the beginnings, and lawyers and judges for the application, and, in some measure, for the consummation, of professional knowledge. As a text book, it is simple and instructive; as an authority, it is distinguished among the highest. (Summary by Editor's Preface)
