Excerpt from History of the Harvard Law School and of Early Legal Conditions in America, Vol. 2 I spent much of this day in transiently reading the report of the trial in the Supreme Court of the United States of the case of Edward Prigg against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, otherwise called the Fugitive Slave case - seven judges, everyone of them dissenting from the reasoning of all the rest, and everyone of them coming to the same con elusion - the transcendant omnipotence of slavery in these United States, riveted by a clause in the Constitution. George Ticknor wrote to William Ellery Charming, April 20, 1842. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of the Harvard Law School and of Early Legal Conditions in America, Vol. 1 Justinian, in his directions to the compilers of his Pandects, wrote: Begin, then, to instruct, with the guidance of God, your scholars in the science of the Law to the end that they may be made worthy ministers of justice and of the Republic. Such instruction and such end have been the aim of Harvard Law School since its foundation. If less than this were true, there would be no occasion for this book. In the preface to the first volume of his Reports, Coke said: It is therefore necessary that memorable things should be committed to writing (the witness of times, the light and life of truth) and not wholly be taken to slippery memory, which seldom yieldeth a certain reckoning. Memorable things and memorable men have impinged upon the past of the Harvard Law School, and it has been my task to fix in writing some impressions, hitherto unpublished, of that past from men who formed a part of it, and to gather together from the disjointed writings of others their records of that past.
