A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

James BanA mes, with the exception of two articles on theN egotiable lostruments A ct, which have been separately published. In the year 1886-87 Professor A mes offered in the Harvard Law School a course of about sixteen lectures, which he entitled Points in Legal History. This course was repeated later, in the years 1889-90 and 1894-95. Several of the lectures were subsequently published in the Harvard Law Review, and one or two in the Green Bag, but about a third of the matter of the lectures has never been published. These lectures are given herein substantially as they were delivered, having been prepared for publication from the following sources: 1. Professor A mess own notes, which were full and accurate 2. Shorthand notes taken by Professor Samuel Williston, of Cambridge, in 1886-87. 3. Notes taken in 1886-87 by Judge Julian W. Mack, of Chicago. 4. Notes taken in 1889-90 by Professor Ezra R. Thayer, of Cambridge. 5. Notes taken in 1894-95 7P rofessor Harry S. Richards, of Madison. 6. Notes taken in 1886-87 corrected in 1894-5 by Professor Joseph H. Beale, of Cambridge. Several of the published lectures were reprinted inS elect Essays in A nglo-A merican Legal History, published in 1909 by Little, Brown, Co., Boston, with additions to the notes made by Professor A mes. These additions have here been reprinted with the permission of the publishers. Several passages from his unpublished lectures were incorporated by Professor A mes in some of his published lectures.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
