Title: Commentaries on American Law
Author: KENT James
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1832. KENT, James. Commentaries on American Law. New York: O. Halsted, 1832. Four volumes. Octavo, contemporary full tan sheep rebacked, raised bands, brown morocco spine labels. $2500.Second edition of one of the most important legal treatises in American history.""Superior to any previous treatise on this subject, and a landmark in the history of international law"" (Chamberlain). ""The foremost American institutional legal treatise"" (DAB). ""Without Kent and Story, it is doubtful that the common law could have been received as readily as it was or that judicial decision could have taken over as the law's growing point Above all, the text writers and their affiliated law schools were a great unifying influence in American law"" (Schwartz, 111). Kent's Commentaries ""contain not only a clear statement of the English law, with all the alterations that have taken place since the time of Blackstone, but a full account of the main principles of Equity, also, a review of the modifications engrafted on the English law by the different states of the Union and on all important questions, an instructive parallel between the English, American, Modern Continental and Civil Laws"" (Marvin, 438). Kent's goal was ""to transplant the English common law to America [His] reliance on precedents had the two-prong effect of helping to maintain the primacy of judge-made law in contrast to codification by legislatures, while providing the legal profession with the degree and kind of certainty it craved"" (ANB). A Columbia University professor and judge in New York, Kent was one of the most influential jurists of his time, and early in his career ""was responsible for two significant innovations: written opinions and published reports"" (ANB). First published in 1826-30. NYU, 249. HLC I: 1088. Bookplates.Interiors quite clean. In handsome contemporary sheep boards.

Description: London: Chatto & Windus, Piccadilly, 1882. First UK Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. First UK edition, first state with ads dated May 1882 - this printing preceded the first US printing (BAL 3404; Johnson p. 111). Edges and endpapers a bit foxed, a few text pages and margins foxed, owner bookplate and small dealer bookplate on front endpaper, corners slightly exposed, spine leans forward a bit. Binding tight, text unmarked. 285, 32 pp. 8vo. Red cloth, gilt titles, black stamped decorations on spine and front board, publisher emblem on rear board, floral decorated endpapers. A satirical tale that revolves around the theft of a rare and valuable white elephant from the ruler of a fictional Asian kingdom. The story is framed as a series of reports and correspondence between various characters, including the police inspector, a detective, and the owner of the stolen elephant. As the investigation unfolds, the characters grapple with the absurdity of the situation and the challenges of recovering the stolen elephant, which has been transported to various locations and disguised in unusual ways. The story satirizes the complexities of law enforcement, bureaucracy, and the absurdity of human behavior.
