Joseph Story's famous and influential review of the origins,
influences, and early interpretations of the U.S. Constitution is
now presented in the author's own 1833 Abridged Edition-considered
the most useful and readable version of this important work, from
the Supreme Court's youngest Justice. The new, affordable hardcover
edition adds a 2013 introduction by Kermit Roosevelt III. One of
the United States' most influential legal scholars and jurists,
Joseph Story wrote his landmark treatise before the Civil War,
describing federalism, states' histories, freedoms, and
constitutional structure. He abridged it into this usable book.
Adding an informative foreword by constitutional scholar Kermit
Roosevelt III of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, the
Quid Pro edition features modern and readable formatting (compared
to mere photocopies of the original, with its expansive and dated
print size), as well as embedded pagination from the original, for
continuity of referencing and citation. Professor Roosevelt
catalogs many instances in which the current Court has relied on
this book to decide issues of gun rights, federalism, and privacy.
In addition, he provides a fascinating biographical summary of
Story and describes the origins of this monumental work, as well as
the influence it has had on legal history since 1833. Part of the
Legal Legends Series from Quid Pro Books. The series also includes
legendary works, in quality ebook and print formats, from Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Roscoe Pound, Benjamin Cardozo,
Thomas Reed Powell, John Chipman Gray, Woodrow Wilson, and Karl
Llewellyn. These editions are introduced and explained by today's
recognized scholars in the field, and they exhibit a care in
reproduction and presentation often lacking in modern
republications of historic books.
