Story, Joseph [1779-1845]. [Bennett, Edmund Hastings, Editor]. Commentaries on the Conflict of Laws, Foreign and Domestic, in Regard to Contracts, Rights, and Remedies, and Especially in Regard to Marriages, Divorces, Wills, Successions, and Judgments. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1857. 8, xxxviii, 1047 pp. Includes eight-page publisher catalogue. Recent period-style quarter calf over cloth, raised bands and lettering piece to spine, endpapers renewed. Interior clean. An appealing copy. * Fifth edition, revised, corrected and greatly enlarged. (Additional cases after 1845, which are set off in the text by brackets, were added by Bennett.) Along with James Kent, Joseph Story shares the distinction of having had the greatest influence on American law during the nineteenth century. Marvin considers Story's Conflict of Laws to be the first systematic work on the subject. Story collected material from all available sources, and organized it in a manner useful to all practitioners. "No work on international jurisprudence merited, nor received, greater praise from the jurists of Europe. It impressed English lawyers with the highest respect for the extensive learning of Mr. Justice Story" (Marvin). "It is not too much to say that its publication constituted an epoch in the law; for it became at once the standard and almost the sole authority...[it] received the honor of being practically the first American law book to be cited as authority in English courts" (Parrish). This facsimile reprint of the second edition published in London is the final authorial edition, produced "under the direction and sanction of the learned author" (Sweet & Maxwell).
