STIMSON'S AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
NOTICE WHAT TWO CUSTOMERS SAY
Cloth : $3.50 Mr. Stimson is a member of both the New York and Massachusetts bars, and was at one time Assistant Attor ney General in the latter state. For four years he was Counsel for the United States Industrial Com mission at Washington. He lectures at Harvard College on Comparative Legislation and Constitu tional Limitations. This work will include a statement of constitutional principles from MAGNA CHARTA, through all the rec ognized constitutional documents, down to the latest constitution — Oklahoma — and a historical view of important legislation embodying constitutional prin ciples, from 1066 to 1906.
It will be divided into three books. HOOK 1 will trace HISTORICAL PRINCIPLES, wfth special discus sion of those which remain most alive to-day. BOOK II gives the HISTORY of LEGISLATION. BOOK 111 presents a concise statement of the propositions of all the AMERICAN STATE CONSTITUTIONS in their latest development and corresponding prin ciples of the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION. A novel feature is a chart (frontis piece), which graphically represents the exact DIVISION of POLITICAL and LEGISLATIVE POWER between the STATES and the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, as well as the large field reserved by the CONSTITUTION to the PEOPLE. This is an arrangement of zones, whose clear fields represent clear powers while their intersections cover cases of doubt or conflict. They are explained as follows: — AZ. — Federal Powers which are forbidden to the States. A. — Powers granted to the United States simply. AB. — Powers common to the Nation and the States. B. — Powers reserved in the States simply. BX. — State Powers forbidden to the" United States. X. — Powers forbidden to the United States simply. Z. — Powers forbidden to the States simply. ZX. — .Powers expressly forbidden to both the Nation and the States. Y. — Rights reserved or expressly retained in the people. This new work will prove useful to every one who wishes to be a good American constitutional lawyer, and to those who are interested in public affairs and politics.
"It is one of the best works for a lawyer who has not had the full advantage of a first-class Law School that could be obtained by him, for the reason that the opinions set forth in the book are much fuller than the opinions of the Judges in our Courts in this Country." This is from a customer in the Middle West. "The present treatise is truly a product of the in ductive study of decided cases, and we have natu rally turned often to those repositories where the most important decisions are to be found gathered together and properly edited. ENGLISH RULING CASES has proved to be of quite unique value." Preface to Street's Foundation of J,egal Liability. IN PRESS Vol. 2j, Supplement to E. R. C, $5.50. The subject of BAILMENTS, not treated as a separate subject in the original work, is introduced in Vol. 27. In this volume the recent decisions upon most of the important cases are fully presented; and in cases where the doctrines discussed have been modified by recent decisions, the old as well as the new theories are set forth.
