Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on Constitutional Law and Equity, and Other Subjects, Vol. 1 His other favorite subject was Equity. In his hands the traditional dogmas of this classic subject received new life and meaning. In their practical applications to modern problems he took endless satisfaction. Noth ing seemed to give him more of the true scientist's pleas ure than to bring to bear upon some apparently dry and commonplace decision the heavy artillery of Equity's fundamental ideas. In his treatment of such a problem, new dignity was added to it, and the practical importance of a scientific consistency was convincingly revealed.

Excerpt from The Democracy of the Constitution, and Other Addresses and Essays The first five papers in this volume deal with the Constitution of the United States, with the democ racy which it created and limited, and with the changes in it which are now proposed, affecting the courts and the principles of representative govern ment.
