Housed in cloth slipcase. $450. * Second edition. In The Formative Era of American Law, Pound refers to the Commentaries on the Laws of Bills of Exchange as one of the standard texts of the nineteenth century. As Marvin pointed out in 1847, it was certainly the most complete and wide ranging text of its day. In addition to American and English sources Story draws on the work of Heineccius and other civil-law jurists. Apart from James Kent, no man has had greater influence on American law than Joseph Story. He was Dane Professor of Law at Harvard and an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. William Wetmore Story was one of his children. A highly regarded lawyer and legal writer, he later abandoned the law, moved to Italy and became a notable poet and sculptor.

Good. Wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations and at fold intersections. Small areas of infill at a few fold intersections. Closed tear extending 1.5 inches through printed area in Chittenden County, New Hampshire repaired on verso. Reinforced where once attached to original binder. Size 14.5 x 19.5 Inches. This is an 1847 pocket map of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont published by Brown and Parsons. Among other features, it demonstrates the demographic, territorial, and infrastructural development of the states since the founding of the United States. A Closer Look Cities and towns throughout are identified, along with the ever-growing road network. The region's best-known lakes, including Winnipesaukee, Moosehead, and Champlain, are depicted, as well as many rivers and mountains. Beautiful original color differentiates counties. Updates reflect changes over earlier editions (see below); for example, Piscataquis County in Maine has been included here as it was founded in 1838. An inset map in the upper left illustrates northern Maine. The vastly larger size of Maine compared to its smaller neighbors is obscured by the reduced scale of the inset, but as the statistical table at bottom-right makes clear, the area of the state nearly doubled that of Vermont and New Hampshire combined. The table lists the population and area of the states, including the 1810 and 1820 statistics. Underneath, census data for 1790 and 1800 is included for comparison (1790 and 1810 in the case of New Hampshire). These figures demonstrate the rapid growth of northern New England in the decades after independence - New Hampshire's population nearly doubled between 1790 and 1820, while Vermont's more than doubled and Maine's more than tripled. Publication History and Census This map is based on an 1834 map by Hiram F. Sumner, which itself was based on an 1826 pocket map by Anthony Finley. Sumner's business was later purchased by Flavius Brown, who in 1837 became business partners with Edward W. Parsons, leading to this map in 1847. The OCLC notes three other editions of this map from 1841, 1845, and 1849 (undated but presumed), held by Stanford University, the American Antiquarian Society, the University of Houston, the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, the Connecticut State Library, Brown University, and the University of Southern Maine. The David Rumsey Map Collection includes examples dated 1838 and 1847. In any edition, the map is scarce to the market.
