Book Description: Story, Joseph . Horowitz, Valerie L., Editor. Joseph Story and the Encyclopedia Americana. With an Original Introduction by Morris L. Cohen. Clark, New Jersey: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd., 2006. xv, 206 pp. ISBN 13: 978 1 58477 528 7. ISBN 10: 1 58477 528 9. Cloth. $95. Never before gathered in any volume, this work presents eighteen articles about major legal subjects by Joseph Story 1779 1845 produced for the first edition of the Encyclopedia Americana (1829 1833), which was edited by Francis Lieber 1798 1872 . Little known today because they were written anonymously and never published in any other form, these extended essays are fascinating distillations of Story's jurisprudence. Many of them were written during his dual tenure as Supreme Court justice and Dane Professor at Harvard Law School. We offer them in an enlarged print version of their original form, now with an extensive introduction by Morris L. Cohen, an appendix with texts of rare related materials and now a detailed index. Ranging from 'Codes,' 'Common Law' and 'Congress of the United States,' to 'Law of Nations,' 'Natural Law' and 'Usury,' they are fascinating distillations of Story's jurisprudence. Story was appointed the youngest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1811 and in 1829 became the first Dane professor of law at Harvard Law School. An important educator, he wrote several influential treatises, such as the landmark Commentaries on the Constitution (1833).
