Book Description
The power of the prince versus the rights of his subjects is one of the basic struggles in the history of law and government. In this masterful history of monarchy, conceptions of law, and due process, Kenneth Pennington addresses that struggle and opens an entirely new vista in the study of Western legal tradition. Pennington investigates legal interpretations of the monarch's power from the twelfth to the seventeenth century. Then, tracing the evolution of defendants' rights, he demonstrates that the origins of due process are not rooted in English common law as is generally assumed. It was not a sturdy Anglo-Saxon, but, most probably, a French jurist of the late thirteenth century who wrote, "A man is innocent until proven guilty." This is the first book to examine in detail the origins of our concept of due process. It also reveals a fascinating paradox: while a theory of individual rights was evolving, so, too, was the concept of the prince's "absolute power." Pennington illuminates this paradox with a clarity that will greatly interest students of political theory as well as legal historians.

Excerpt: ...serve as a key to much that was before but partially understood in the Coryfiurfuris, was translated into English and published with a valuable introduction and notes in 1870. And to these we might add the worksof Mr. Maine, which, though not specific treatises upon the civil law, go back, in fact, to still more archaic and elementary principles of jurisprudence than the Roman law itself, although adopting that as a typical system for purposes of illustration. His "Ancient Law" careful study of every liberal scholar, whether in law or general literature, and-should find a place in the curriculum of every student at law. While recommending either or all of those volumes, we do not suppose the American student is to pursue the study of the Roman law into its specialities and details. It would be difficult to pur deserves the. suade him to do this, even if he had time. Most of our students moreover, have not time for this, if they had inclination. But if one of these wishes to go beyond the scope of the mechanical details of his profession, and to ascend into the purer and clearer atmosphere of jurisprudence as a liberal science, he cannot do it more readily or effectually than by drawing inspiration from that immortal system of which it has been eloquently said: "As if the mighty destinies of Rome were not fulfilled, she reigns throughout the whole earth by her reason, after having ceased to reign by her authority." EMORY WASHBURN. PRIVATE HABITS or MR. CHAsE.--Chief ustice Chase led a very simple and regular life. For many years it had been his habit to rise at six o'clock in summer and seven in winter.

Excerpt: ...remedy under section 915, combined with section 985, without discussing the question of its meaning where the latter section does not apply, as where the districts are in different States. Under this view the plaintifl"s lien on the defendant's real estatc in the Eastern District depends, not upon the certified copy he has filed here, but upon the original judgment he has obtained in the Western District, and goes back as to all real estate situated in this district to that date; for the right of lien depends upon the right of execution; and, as all writs of execution, which the plaintiff had a right to issue on his judgment, might "run and be executed in all parts of the State," by section 985, this lien was equally operative from the same date upon real estate situated in all parts of the State. Mrzssingill v. Downs, 7 Howard, 768. Oral opinion by MCKENNAN, Cir. J., OADWALADER, .T., concurred. Sur application for instructions to the marshal in the execution of a writ of _fi.fa. A writ of fi. _fa., directed to the marshal of the Western District, had issued from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania, upon a judgment in the plaintifl"s favor obtained in that court. Under this execution, property in that district had been levied upon, and the same writ was then handed to the marshal of the Eastern District, with directions that he should seize under it property in the last named district. The marshal applied to the Court at Chambers, for instructions, alleging that under the Act of Congress he was not instructed as to whether he had authority to levy under the writ directed to the marshal of Western District, or whether an independent writ (either concurrent or...

That Norman warrior Bishop was the grand Chief Iusticiar of England. Within fifty years thereafter the foundations of Westminster Hall were laid and the great fountain of the English common law was unsealed. It is said of the first great English reformer, Wyckliff, that after he d Opinion by COLE, ., December, 1872. had lain in his grave for forty years his ashes were dug up and thrown into the river Avon. " The Avon to the Severn runs, The Severn to the sea, And Wycliff's dust shall spread abroad, Wide as the waters be." Over most of the lands where the dust of Wycklilf spread, there followed, at a later day, the elements of the English common law, adorning and fertilizing large regions of country in different quarters of the earth. Over the larger part of North America, over many of the islands of the sea, along the shores of Western Africa and Southern India, their great influence has been felt, and at this ' day, though modified, it is true, by changing circumstances and by statutes, still, in a very large degree, they regulate the conduct and guard the property and lives of eighty millions of English speaking people. The young and talented lawyer of to-day, if well read in the various departments of the common law, may go forth with reasonable prospects of success in the practice of his profession, not only in the different States of the Union, but also in England, in Canada, in Australia, and in portions of Africa and Asia. He enters, threfore, upon a rich inheritance, prepared to reap the fruits of the labors of generations of learned lawyers who have gone before him. But with great advantages come also corresponding duties...
