A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The origin and nature of law, both written and unwritten; its growth and development; its function in the social order; its powerful influence as an effective force in the progress and civilisation of mankind; the importance of distinguishing between the nature of written and unwritten law and, ascertaining the proper and legitimate province of each, were subjects which possessed for Mr. Carter an absorbing interest and to which he devoted much attention, particularly during the last few years of his life, when his retirement from active practice afforded himmore opporttmity for study and reflection. The general field of inquiry was not new to him, for at a much earlier period, when still in the full tide of professional activity and burdened b0the exacting demands of a large and important practice at the Bar, he had taken the principal part in opposing the adoption by the State of New York of the well known Civil Code, of which the late David Dudley Field was the author; and this task and the inquiries which it led him to make, were pursued by him with the keenest interest. The arguments which he then framed and addressed to successive legislatures and governors, led to the final rejection of the proposed Code.
