商品簡介
This three-volume set, the first three in a five-volume edition, is an authoritative collection of public papers that covers a span of 76 years, from Holmes's first publication as a college sophomore in 1858 to a letter written shortly before his death in 1935. It comprises everything that Holmes wrote which was intended either for print publication or for delivery to an audience and, in volumes 4 and 5, his most significant judicial opinions. Instead of adding a great many isolated footnotes to Holmes's text to explain the context, editor Novick (scholar in residence, Vermont Law School) has collected this material in three connected essays: A Brief Biography of Justice Holmes, Holmes's Philosophy and Jurisprudence, and A Critical Appraisal. Includes a name index and a table of cases. Slipcased. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
