I am a law student who read this edition of Blackstone’s Commentaries for a jurisprudence course, and it was a great experience. Blackstone details the inner logic and principles of the common law and why it stands as an equal among Greek, Roman, and civil law. He also systematically details the logic and basis for the law of civil rights, property, civil procedure, and criminal law in England. These sections provided me with a much better understanding of the origin and rationality behind our system of law.

In addition he also explains the historical origins of the common law and the political structure of England’s government at the time just before our nation’s independence and why it had been superior, at that time, to any other form of government in all of Europe in the securing and preservation of human liberty. I highly recommend at least volume I to law students and even to any reader interested in better understanding the origins of our government. His explanations in particular will give you a much better understanding of how English government functioned and how our government distinguished itself in substantial ways from England.

Any scholar, student, or avid reader of political science, law, or history will benefit and enjoy this great literary work.

Ignore the earlier critique of the font, the facsimile of the first edition really transports you back in time and the font is not that difficult to navigate. The only real difference is “f” is used in place of “s” everywhere but in the last letter of words (”greateft” “fortrefs” “fubject” etc.). Generally it’s very clear when the “f” is an “s” although there are a few confusing exceptions (e.g. “wife” is “wise” as in the “wife laws of England…”). The first edition included footnotes where Blackstone cited English, Latin, and Roman works and these are reproduced here as well.

If you liked Little Women and Little Men, you’ll be rewarded for reading Jo’s Boys because you’ll find out what happened to Nat, Dan, Nan, Emil, Tom, Demi, Daisy, Bess, Jo, Meg, Amy and Laurie in another ten years.

Jo is transformed into a famous novelist who spends her time trying to hide from her public with little luck. It’s quite humorous. Plumfield is now a college. Nat goes abroad for advanced training in music and learns other lessons better. Dan seeks to build a new world in the West and runs into the consequences of his quick temper. Emil has a most remarkable adventure on the high seas that will remind many of classic sailing tales in the 19th century. Nan is interested in medicine and little else. Demi turns out to be spoiled. Daisy is patiently waiting for her love to return.

By this time, Louisa May Alcott had become identified more closely with Women’s Rights, and Jo’s Boys is in some ways a tract piece to advance the cause of equal opportunity for women. I was struck by how modern many of the views are, although the way they are expressed is definitely from the 19th century.

She also takes herself more seriously as a writer and enriches the text with references that may not be familiar to many readers. That effect makes the book seem much less accessible.

But the same loving heart underlies this reunion. You just have to look past more language to find it.

Another Caspak book, and another main character. A fan of ‘B’ names for this series, was Burroughs, as this one’s name is Bradley.

Taking a trip out from Fort Dinosaur with a party of other men, things turn sour when they run into a tyrannosaur.

When they run into the winged men called the Wieroo they don’t have too many fans, either.

“The legend is purely fiction,” reads the preface of one of the Leatherstocking tales, “no authority existing for any of its facts, characters, or other peculiarities, beyond that which was thought necessary to secure the semblance of reality.” It is difficult to say that the author would have agreed with the statement between the years 1823-1841, the tales’ seedtime. But what Cooper does in his tale, The Pathfinder, is give a brilliant image of the first rude settlements in North America, referring to the story as our legend. If he did invent, it was in terms of what he actually had learned during a visit to a region of the country. The underlying motive of his novel, from beginning to end, was to move and capture the reader by what he once identified as a “stoicism which (Pathfinder) imbibed from long association with the Indians.” This is a naturally compact dependent clause for a concept of philosophical submission, and Cooper’s observation of its existence cunningly changed many times in the unfoldment of his story,- mostly in the direction that would awaken those who were practised in the ways of the world. At the heart of the observation, nevertheless, the interpreter can monotonously perceive the play of three observable realities: position; time; and the quantities, such as energy and growth, that are attributed to them. The first of the plotting instruments, conspicuously a solitary sign with Cooper and his characters is the bearing of position. Once place, environment, is known, the sergeant tells another character, ‘it will be something gained to learn our position.’ Unless you have it, the place will be too dark to reveal the color of nature’s pristine appearance. Like the woodsman’s, the reader’s patience is a virtue as he changes position. Few writers have traced so diligently the trails found in the American forest while managing to evade the mentality that believed so convincingly that sharks inhabited the wilderness. Few, antithetically, have been skillful enoug
