Fifteen (15) linear feet shelf space. $2,500. * "The American Law Review is a quarterly, of which the profession may well feel proud. The first number appeared in October 1866, published by the well-known house of Little, Brown & Co., of Boston. It has steadily increased in favor. Besides dignified and elaborately prepared articles upon legal topics, it contains a digest of English law reports, and selected state reports, book notices, a list of law books published in England and America, and a summary of events covering every state and England, with occasionally other foreign countries. We are particularly pleased with its book notices, which are fearless and impartial. The books of Little, Brown & Co., we notice, fare the same as others. By honest criticism the reader can tell pretty accurately whether or not to buy the last new book he sees advertised. There is a manly, vigorous tone about the Review, which has earned for it a large measure of influence, and itsvalue to lawyers as an organ worthy to represent them, can hardly be over-stated. With the October (1870) number, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Arthur G. Sedgwick, both of the Boston bar, assumed the editorial control. It had hiterto been under the charge of John C. Gray and John C. Ropes, who retired with an enviable reputation for their ability and discriminating taste." The Albany Law Journal, December 10, 1870, page 449.

The first American treatise on family law, Reeve's Law of Baron and Femme is a restatement of Blackstone's Commentaries, Book I, Chapters XIV-XVII. It rejects some of the fundamental doctrines of the common law, most notably coverture. As Blackstone puts it, "the husband and wife are one person in law; that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during marriage." Reeve says the opposite. A prescriptive work, Baron and Femme aimed to liberalize the American law of domestic relations, arguing, for example, that married women were permitted to make wills, a point contradicted by the contemporary statute and case law of Connecticut and several other states.

An attractive copy. $950. * The Amistad case centered around the abduction of a large group of Africans from Sierra Leone. Illegally enslaved by Portugese traders and taken on board La Amistad in Cuba by Spanish plantation owners, the group took control of the ship and demanded that the survivors return them home. The crew members steered towards the east coast of the United States instead, where the vessel was discovered and seized by an American lieutenant. The highly complex court proceedings that ensued involved seven parties and dealt with the sensitive intersection of international law, diplomacy and the Atlantic slave trade. Most fundamentally, they concerned the rights of the kidnapped Africans, who denied that they were criminals or slaves subject to the salvage and property claims made by the other parties. The case, which resulted in victory for the Africans, "brought to the United States living proof of the horrors of the African slave trade" and became an important target for the abolitionist movement (Finkelman). This pamphlet collects documents relating to the case requested by the House of Representatives. In a sign of the high level of public interest, it was reprinted in New York by an abolitionist group the same year. OCLC locates 1 copy in a law library (Northwestern).
