"""... every state, in its relations with other states, is bound to conduct itself with justice, good faith, and benevolence...it is obligatory upon them in point of conscience." -James Kent, Commentaries on American Law Volume I (1826) Commentaries on American Law Volume I (1860) by James Kent is the tenth edition and originally published in 1826, part of a four-volume set. The series was adapted from the lectures Kent gave at Columbia Law School both as a professor and after his time there. Volume one includes twenty-four lectures that focus on a wide range of topics from declaration of war and rights of persons to constitutional jurisprudence and municipal law. Considered by some as the principal interpretation of American law, it is a book not just for legal historians but for all who are interested in the roots of jurisprudence.""
