Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Cannibalism and the Common Law is an enthralling classic of legal history. It tells the tragic story of the yacht Mignonette, which foundered on its way from England to Australia in 1884. The killing and eating of one of the crew, Richard Parker, led to the leading case in the defence of necessity, R. v. Dudley and Stephens. It resulted in their being convicted and sentenced to death, a sentence subsequently commuted. This book is in good condition with only little wear around the edges, corners and spine. There is a little wear on the dustjacket also.

[nice clean book, very slight bends to top corners of a small group of pages, no other significant wear; the jacket shows only light surface handling wear]. "The first comprensive study of Regulation 18B," under which nearly 2,000 British citizens who were suspected of being Fifth Columnists working to undermine the nation's war effort were detained without charge during the early years of World War II. "Based on extensive use of primary sources, [the book] describes the complex history of wartime executive detention: the purposes which it served, the administrative procedures and safeguards employed, the conflicts between the Home Office and the Security Service which surrounded its use, the part played by individuals, by Parliament, and by the courts in restraining abuse of executive power, and the effect of detention upon the lives of the individuals concerns, very few of whom constituted any threat to national security." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this somewhat heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.

Best condition, Sehr guter Zustand. -- Perhaps the most important legal treatise ever written in the English language, Sir William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" (1765-69) was the first effort to consolidate English common law into a unified and rational system. Clearly and elegantly written, the work achieved immediate renown and exerted a powerful influence on legal education both in England and America. This handsomely produced, slipcased four-volume set includes facsimiles of the eighteenth-century first edition, undistorted by later interpolations. The "Commentaries" is divided into four books. The first, introduced by Stanley N. Katz, deals with what Blackstone called "the rights of persons," what a modern lawyer would call constitutional law, the legal structure of government. Book II includes an introduction by A. W. Brian Simpson and describes the law of property. Book III, introduced by John H. Langbein, analyzes civil procedure and remedies. The last book, which is devoted to criminal law and procedure, includes an introduction by Thomas A. Green. Now regarded as a literary, as well as a legal classic, Blackstone's "Commentaries" brilliantly laid out the system of English law in the mid-eighteenth century, demonstrating that as a system of justice, it was comparable to Roman law and the civil law of the Continent. Ironically, the work also revealed to the colonists the insufficiencies of the system and became a model for the legal system of the fledgling American nation in 1789. Supplemented with commentary by experts in the field, these classic facsimile volumes belong on every lawyer's bookshelves. Volume I: "Of the Rights of Persons (1765)"Volume II: "Of the Rights of Things (1766)"VolumeIII: "Of Private Wrongs (1768)"Volume IV: "Of Public Wrongs (1769)" Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 3700 First University of Chicago Press Edition.
