Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. 1983. First edition. xxix, 247pp., and a black and white frontispiece portrait of J.D.B. Mitchell. This collection of essays was first mooted as a method of marking the fifteenth anniversary, in 1983, of the founding within Edinburgh University of the Centre of Eupropean Governmental Studies. In particular, it was intended as a tribute to Professor J.D.B. Mitchell, Salvesen Professor of European Institutions in the University of Edinburgh. Following Mitchell's death in 1980, what was planned as a celebration has become a commemoration. The scope of the contributions is intended to reflect not only Professor Mitchell's interest in European community Law but also his previous interest in Public Law in general. The essays are grouped into four main sections. Part I is concerned with problems of UK public law, Part II with the interaction of community law and international law, Part III with the Community institutions, and Part IV with aspects of the substantive law of the beliefs with regard to the European Communities. The book is bound in the original maroon cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and a gold crest on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with light shelf wear and light bumping to the bottom of the spine.
