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 Legal and Judicial History of New York In 1842 it was resolved to curtail the power of the legislature to incur debt. This decision and the reaction against the tendency to involve the government in private business led to the convention of 1846. The work of that convention and the constitution reported by it, the third constitution of the State, have been discussed in this book. Whatever may be the common impression, the most important part of the labor of that convention dealt with the subject of public debts. The next succeeding constitutional convention was that of 1867, all of whose work except the judiciary article was rejected at the polls. Then followed the constitutional commission of 1872, which took up a large part of the unaccepted effort of the convention of 1867, revised it, and presented it to the State legislatures in such form that much of it was eventually incorporated in the constitution. To the able and thoughtful men in the convention of 1867 it must have seemed lamentable that their labors were not appreciated. The valuable ideas which the convention formulated first passed through the crucible of public discussion and afterwards were debated in the commission of 1872. The good work of the convention was not lost; on the contrary it was improved, and fortunately for the people, some notions much in vogue at the time were never submitted by the legislature for popular vote, and were happily kept out of the organic law. The lesson which that period should teach is that proposed constitutional changes need thorough consideration before their submission to the people. In 1890 a constitutional commission was summoned into being to revise the judiciary article. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York, Vol. 3 As early as 1540 some French fur traders found their way up the river that many years afterward was "discovered" by Hudson, and erected a stone fort or castle on the island in the river, near the present southern boundary of the city of Albany. Here seventy-five years later the castle, which had fallen into decay, was rebuilt as Fort Nassau by Hendrick Corstiaensen, of Amsterdam, who bore a license from the Lords States-General of Holland to traffic in furs with the natives of New Netherland. Here Henry Hudson arrived on the "Half Moon," September 19, (oldstyle) 1609, under contract with the Dutch East India Company on his exploration of the Grande (now Hudson) River. Here the Walloons, under the authority of the Dutch West India Company, which had been incorporated by the Holland government to colonize America, erected Fort Orange in 1624, on the shore of the river, near the site of the present steamboat landing. None of these early efforts, however, resulted in a permanent settlement. It remained for Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, the first patroon, to become the founder of an enduring settlement here. He it was to whom the Dutch West India Company, under a plan approved by the Lords States-General, granted manorial rights and the permission to establish a colony. While he did not come himself, he sent a few settlers here in 1630. These were followed by others in subsequent years, but he remained at his home in Amsterdam and administered his affairs from there.

Here freshly researched, unprecedented stories regarding modern American thought and religious life show how the scholar Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) provides ongoing influence still. They describe his influence on universal rights, American religious life, theology, philosophy, history, psychology, interpretation of texts, community formation, and interpersonal dialogue. Schleiermacher is an Einstein-like innovator in all these areas and more. This work contrasts chiefly "evangelical liberal" figures with others (between circa 1835 and the 1920s). It also looks ahead to several careers extended well into the twentieth century and offers numerous characterizations of Schleiermacher's thought. In six tightly organized parts, fourteen expert historians chronologically discuss the following: (1) Methodist leaders (1766-1924); (2) Stuart, Bushnell, Nevin, and Hodge; (3) Restorationists, Transcendentalists, women leaders, Schaff, and Rauschenbusch; (4) Clarke, Mullins, Carus, and Bowne; (5) Dewey, Royce, Ames, Knudson, Brown, Fosdick, Cross, Jones, and Thurman--within contemporary contexts. Unexpectedly, John Dewey lies at the epicenter of the narrative, and Harry Emerson Fosdick and Howard Thurman bring it to its climax. Recently, evidence displays a broadening influence advancing rapidly. The sixth part of the book surveys modern historiography, Schleiermacher on history and comparative method and on psychology as a basic scientific and philosophical field. That section also provides a critical survey of histories of modern theology and offers concluding questions and answers. The three editors contribute twenty of the thirty-one chapters.

Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York, Vol. 1 In the first volume of this work the attempt has been made to record chronologically and with as much thoroughness as the limitations of a single volume has permitted, the history of the legal institutions and the administration of justice in the Colony and State of New York during their three hundred years of existence from the time of their first planting under the Dutch down to the beginning of the twentieth century. Necessarily the work of the writer has been largely that of compilation in bringing together from every available source of information whatever may have been recorded by preceding writers con cerning the subject, and weaving all this divergent material into a complete, logical and consistent narrative. Nothing of this kind has ever before been essayed, and it is believed that from these pages it will be possible to have a clear conception of the character of our legal institutions, the source of their origin, and the manner in which, gradually, from one generation to another, they developed from small and crude beginnings to their present proportions.

The antebellum period has long been identified with the belated emergence of a truly national literature. And yet, as Meredith L. McGill argues, a mass market for books in this period was built and sustained through what we would call rampant literary piracy: a national literature developed not despite but because of the systematic copying of foreign works. Restoring a political dimension to accounts of the economic grounds of antebellum literature, McGill unfolds the legal arguments and political struggles that produced an American "culture of reprinting" and held it in place for two crucial decades. In this culture of reprinting, the circulation of print outstripped authorial and editorial control. McGill examines the workings of literary culture within this market, shifting her gaze from first and authorized editions to reprints and piracies, from the form of the book to the intersection of book and periodical publishing, and from a national literature to an internally divided and transatlantic literary marketplace. Through readings of the work of Dickens, Poe, and Hawthorne, McGill seeks both to analyze how changes in the conditions of publication influenced literary form and to measure what was lost as literary markets became centralized and literary culture became stratified in the early 1850s. American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 delineates a distinctive literary culture that was regional in articulation and transnational in scope, while questioning the grounds of the startlingly recent but nonetheless powerful equation of the national interest with the extension of authors' rights.
