THE NATURE AND SOURCES OF THE LAW is a legal and jurisprudential
classic, finally available in a high-quality, modern edition. Quid
Pro's republication of the second edition, 1921, of Gray's
foundational book features updated formatting, accurate
reproduction, consistency with the new eBook edition, embedded page
numbers from the original (aiding citation and referencing, as well
as classroom assignment), and 2012 notes of the series editor. Most
reprints of this classic text, at any price, follow the previous
edition and are merely photocopied versions of that 1909 text.
Publisher's note: although this description may appear under
reprints by others, only the Quid Pro editions have the accurate
reproduction, use of the second edition, parallel eBook edition,
and modern formatting. Look for the portrait of Gray in an etching
and the publisher name Quid Pro.] John Chipman Gray was a noted
lawyer and legal scholar of the progressive era, a professor at
Harvard Law School, and a founder of the Boston law firm Ropes
& Gray. His important book analyzed the uses of precedent and
custom, the meaning of law and legal rights, the differences
between common law and civil law reasoning, deference to and
interpretation of statutes and their occasional obsolescence, the
role of morality and popular will, and the philosophical failings
of Austin, Blackstone, and German thinkers of the day. It is a
remarkable set piece in legal theory and history. Gray's anatomy of
the concept of law is part of the canon of legal thought from the
progressive era. Legal Legends editions of classic works of law and
political philosophy from Quid Pro are unlike any new versions
available today, at any price. Also in the Series are explained and
introduced editions of Cardozo's THE NATURE OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS
(with new material by Harvard's Andrew Kaufman), Holmes' THE
ANNOTATED] COMMON LAW (adding 200 simple explanatory notes),
Holmes' THE PATH OF THE LAW and Warren and Brandeis' THE RIGHT TO
PRIVACY (with additions by Steven Alan Childress of Tulane),
Llewellyn's THE BRAMBLE BUSH (with new introduction by Wisconsin's
Stewart Macaulay), and three works by Woodrow Wilson.
