Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, has been called the greatest jurist and
legal scholar in the history of the English-speaking world. In this
collection of his speeches, opinions and letters, Richard Posner
reveals the fullness of Holmes' achievements as judge, historian,
philosopher and master of English style. Thematically arranged, the
volume covers a variety of subjects from aging and death to themes
in politics, personalities, and law. Posner's substantial
introduction firmly places this wealth of material in its
biographical and historical context.
