Excerpt from A Selection of Cases on Constitutional Law The wide interest in Constitutional Law may cause this volume to reach some readers unacquainted with the case system of study. Hence it seems necessary to explain that this collection of cases is intended not to accompany a treatise but to serve as the basis for independent work. Before each class exercise the student is expected to master fifteen or twenty pages, fitting him self to state how the problems arose and to express' clearly the doctrines necessarily involved in the decisions. There are several methods of studying cases effectively. One successful method is to mark in distinctive ways the essential facts of each case, the passages indicating the points upon which the decision turned, and other passages worthy of comment, and then to place at the beginning of the case a Short syllabus, giving in a sentence or two the reader's own phrasing of the ratio decidendi. Thus before work in the classroom the student puts much of himself into the book. The margins permit making notes of classroom discussion. Besides, if there be time and inclination for further study, by inserting an occasional sheet of interleaving paper the volume may be enriched with matter derived from cases cited in the foot notes or discovered by the student himself. There is no reason why use should not be made of digests, treatises, and other aids to investigation; and with or without those collateral aids the volume may be made an adequate record of the student's work and the basis for that short treatise which many a student pre pares for himself. It is no waste to annotate a volume in the way described. Thus grew Coke's First Institute, known even to laymen as Coke upon, Littleton; and the permanent record of either a student's or a lawyer's work in Constitutional Law may well take the form of annotations upon decisions.

Excerpt from Cases on Constitutional Law The difficulty experienced by a large body of law students in oh taining access to the United States Supreme Court Reports has led to the preparation of this volume. The cases have been selected by the author to be studied in connection with his lectures, at the Uni versity of Minnesota, on American constitutional law. With one exception they have been taken from the United States Supreme Court Reports. For the convenience of students, the Constitution of the lnited States has been inserted. It is not claimed that the whole field of American constitutional law has been covered in this compilation. The design has been to present these cases only which best illustrate'the more important principles, leaving to the in structor to add to the list such cases as he may think best.

Excerpt from Select Statutes, Cases, and Documents to Illustrate English Constitutional History, 1660-1832: With a Supplement From 1832-1894 The origin, purpose, and scope of this volume require a brief explanation. In lecturing for the Honour School of Modern History at Oxford on English Constitutional History from 1660 to the Great Reform Bill, I invariably found that both my classes and I laboured under the serious disadvantage of having no handy collection of pieces justificatives in the shape of selected original authorities for our subject, such as is at the disposal of teachers and students for the preceding periods of English history in the well-known Select Charters of Stubbs, and the similar volumes of Dr. Prothero and Mr. Gardiner - with what profit to all concerned needs no proof here. If the student, in short, of English Constitutional History for the hundred and seventy years from 1660 - the period in which the bases of the constitution under which we live to-day were finally established - desire access to the most important statutes and documents, or to the text of the decisions in the leading cases in constitutional law, he has so far been compelled to seek them scattered in the ponderous collection of Parliamentary Statutes, in the still more voluminous and confusing mass of Law Reports, or piecemeal in various books not always to be found in his college library, and certainly not within the reach of a modest purse. Otherwise he must rest content with the quotations or paraphrases of the leading secondary authorities, or, worse still, the ipse dixit of the lecturer. The educational value of bringing the student face to face with the original authorities is a point that to-day requires no laboured proof; it is one of the truisms common to all places where history is seriously studied.

It will be divided into four books, which may be obtained separately. Book I. Deals with introductory topics, beginning with the distinction between legislative, executive, and judicial powers, then passing to federal government, in other words, the general relation of State and Nation, and concluding with what may be called imperial government, or problems incident to the exercise by the Nation of governmental functions in the District of Columbia, the territories, and the insular possessions. Book II. Deals with miscellaneous topics, and especially with some of the express limitations in the Constitution of the United States, includ ing the clauses as to ex post facto laws and laws impairing the obligation of contracts.

Excerpt from Selected Cases on the Law of Contracts The arrangement of topics follows that of Sir William Anson in his Principles of the English Law of Contracts, whose general plan has served as a model for some other treatises on the subject. This case book, however, covers some topics not dealt with in his book; and some that are treated there are not included here. Two chap ters appearing in the former editions of this book, namely, Capacity of Parties, and Impairing the Obligation of Contract, are omitted in this edition, as these are topics which are commonly discussed in the courses on Persons and Constitutional Law in the usual law school curriculum. In many of the cases the statement of facts has, for the sake of brev ity, been either re-written or abridged, without calling special attention to the matter. For the same reason, the practice, now common, of omitting unnecessary portions of the Opinions, has been followed; but such omissions are always indicated. In this as in the preceding editions, the principal text consists of American cases, although English cases are represented in the notes and in the discussions in the Opinions.

Book II. deals with miscellaneous topics, and especially with some of the express limitations in the Constitution of the United States, including the clauses as to ex post facto laws and laws impairing the obligation of contracts. Book III. deals with due process of law and kindred topics. Book IV. deals principally with commerce. The literature is so vast that this collection presents only the famous cases and such of the others as may serve the ordinary purposes of the classroom. The reader with scholarly tastes is expected to make large use of the celebrated collection which for twenty years formed the basis of the instruction at tliis Law School - Thayer's Cases on Constitutional Law. In editing the cases, new statements have usually been prepared, and, save as otherwise indicated, arguments of counsel have been omitted. Omissions in opinions have been indicated by dots. In the first chapter of Book I. an attempt has been made to reproduce punctuation and capitalization exactly, to the end that the reader may ascertain what importance attaches to changes in capitalizing Constitution, Congress, and other words. The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States have been placed at the beginning, both in order to encourage the student to ascertain as soon as possible whether the Constitution was a revision of the earlier document, and also in order to aid him to form the habit of beginning every constitutional investigation by examining the words, the context, and the origin of the pertinent provision in the Constitution.
