The Making of Modern Law: Legal Treatises, 1800–1926 is the most comprehensive full-text collection of Anglo-American legal treatises available today. Sourced from the world's foremost law libraries, this archive covers nearly every aspect of American and British law and encompasses a broad array of the analytical, theoretical, and practical literature for research in U.S. and British legal history. It features casebooks, local practice manuals, form books, works for lay readers, pamphlets, letters, speeches, and other works from the most influential writers and legal thinkers of the time. The collection traces the evolution of historical and contemporary legal thought in the United States and the United Kingdom during this period of monumental change. It provides researchers with a logical, interdisciplinary approach to the study of modern law and allows a vast segment of the literature of law to be quickly searched by specific keywords or phrases, full text, author, title, date, subject, source library, and more. The 22,000 titles that comprise this collection originated as Nineteenth Century and Twentieth Century Legal Treatises, a microfilm collection sourced from the holdings of Harvard Law School Library, Yale University, York University, Columbia University, and 21 other institutions in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The collection’s focus on the legal treatise, a published work of legal analysis that complements the many collections available of statutes, trial transcripts, state documents, legal codes, and judicial reports. As a special kind of secondary source, legal treatises analyze and examine specific laws or bodies of law, addressing a range of analytical, theoretical, and practical issues not captured in other types of law-related documentation. Legal treatises hold special interest to scholars and researchers of domestic and international law, legal history, business and economics, politics and government, national defense, criminology, religion, education, labor and social welfare and military justice. - Publisher's website.
