Excerpt from Elements of American Jurisprudence Jurisprudence, as the word is used in the title of this book, denotes the science of which law, as such, is the subject-matter; the science which deals, not with the commands and prohibitions whereof the law consists, but with the law itself, its nature, its origin, its history, its divisions, its forms, its interpretation, and the methods of its application to practical affairs. Of law in general, considered as an essential feature of political society and abstracted from all definite systems of law, there is a universal science known as General Jurisprudence; and of every system of law, differing as each does from every other in some of its exterior characteristics, there is a special science, - the Particular Jurisprudence of the State in which that law prevails. Thus American Jurisprudence is a special science, treating of the laws of the United States and of the States of which the American Union is composed. Manifestly some knowledge of this science is important to every educated citizen who aspires to the intelligent discharge of his political duties; a more intimate acquaintance with it is indispensable to the lawyer and the judge who participate in the interpretation and administration of the law; while for the jurist and the legislator the mastery over it must be still broader and more profound. In the present work it has been the purpose of the author to assist the various grades of students in their preparation for these different positions in political life.

Excerpt from The Influence of New York on American Jurisprudence Those who have not studied with care the details of our colonial history can have but a faint idea of the power wielded by this Indian Confederacy, or the terror with which they had filled the minds of other tribes. In his exploration in Virginia, Captain Smith was told by the Indians whom he met in that region, that the Iroquois were so powerful that they waged war with the whole world.

Excerpt from Institutes of American Law, Vol. 1 of 2 Most lawyers have felt the want of a preliminary work to serve the young American student as a guide in the labyrinth of jurisprudence; as an instructor to give him a general view of the several parts of this judicial science; to mark the objects of each, and to point out the natural dependence which unites them; a work tending to establish a method which should be adopted in the study of the law; to point out the numerous links of the chain which unites the ancient with the modern law, which binds the past with the present, and which by its nature must for ever remain indestructible. A work which would thus elevate the science of the law in the sight of youth, and impress a character of unity upon it, would exercise a happy influence on the minds of the students, develop their moral and intellectual faculties, and be a blessing to them. But it is far less difficult to describe what the legal edifice should be, and to state what is required for its construction, than to select the materials of which it should be composed, and to make such a disposition of them in the building as would render the structure at once solid, elegant, and every way fitted for the purpose for which it is intended. On entering on his profession, the American student is discouraged by being obliged to study laws which are not his own, and which do not belong to the present age, except as matter of history. It requires an effort to read even the elegant Blackstone, and, when studied, it must be forgotten, because the laws on which that author has so beautifully commented are not the laws which the young aspirant seeks to know - they are not those of his country. It is true, noble efforts have been made by American writers to explain our laws, and to them the profession must be greatly indebted; but the commentaries which have been so liberally bestowed are better adapted to the use of those who are already good lawyers, than to teach one who has every thing to learn. The author cannot hope to have made a perfect work, and supplied, in this respect, all the deficiencies and the wants of the profession; his aim has been an approximation to what a work should be which might, in some degree, deserve the title of Institutes of American Law. He has endeavored to reduce the whole to a strict method, and, by a correct classification, to impress upon the mind of the student the objects of his inquiry; for, what is well classified is half known. It seemed to him that jurisprudence, as much as any other science, required this method; and while all kinds of human knowledge are now taught in this manner the law should not be an exception.

Excerpt from Analysis American Law The student is advised to follow this course of the Analysis as his course of study. After thoroughly studying the Analysis, let him take the first book, and, in conjunction with it, read the first volume of Kent's Commentaries, and Story's Commentaries on the Constitution.

Excerpt from American Business Law: With Legal Forms One of the most noteworthy developments during re cent years in educational courses has been the increasing prominence given to the study of business law. A few years ago this subject was taught virtually nowhere save in law schools. To-day it is being generally adopted by progressive colleges and universities. It is a study whose educational value can hardly be overestimated. It trains and exercises the student's mind, and it is of such practical utility that he cannot fail to realize its advantages. More' over, it has a rare human interest, especially if the prin ciples are illustrated with actual cases. Almost every case in the higher courts represents a conflict on the outcome of which important interests are staked. And the decision of each lawsuit not only shows the result of that particular case, but also indicates what will probably be decided in similar cases arising thereafter.
