Tucker, John Randolph. The Constitution of the United States: A Critical Discussion of Its Genesis, Development, and Interpretation. Edited by Henry St. George Tucker. Chicago: Callaghan & Co., 1899. Reprint W.S. Hein, 2000. 2 Vols. Cloth. New. * This treatise on constitutional law gives a thoroughly learned and scholarly presentation of the views of a school radically different from the text-writers with whom we are most familiar; Story, for instance, and Cooley. It was considered a standard authority on the subject and was recognized as the ablest treatise on the Constitution from the standpoint of the strict constructionist school.

Tucker, Henry St. George: Lectures on the Constitutional Law, for the Use of the Law Class... 2004

Tucker, Henry St. George. Lectures on the Constitutional Law, for the Use of the Law Class at the University of Virginia. Richmond: Printed for Shepherd and Colin, 1843. 242 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-453-3. Cloth. * Reprint of the rare 1843 edition. Tucker [1780-1848] proposes a vigorous defense of states-rights principles in the manner of John Taylor of Caroline. A notably sophisticated argument, it balances detailed analysis of the U.S. Constitution with criticism of Joseph Story, Daniel Webster and other proponents of a powerful Federal government. Tucker was a judge of the superior courts of chancery for the Winchester and Clarksburg districts, President of Virginia's Supreme Court of Appeals, the director of a private law school in Winchester and, later in life, Professor of Law at the University of Virginia. Works that grew out of the classroom include Commentaries on the Laws of Virginia (1836-1837), the third edition of which is also available as Lawbook Exchange reprint, and the present work.

Blackstone. Tucker's; St. George Tucker: Blackstone's Commentaries With Notes of Reference to the Constitution, 1996

Tucker, St. George. Blackstone's Commentaries. With Notes of Reference to the Constitution and Laws, of the Federal Government of the United States, and of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In Five Volumes, with an Appendix to Each volume, Containing Short Tracts upon Such Subjects As Appeared Necessary to Form a Connected View of the Laws of Virginia As a Member of the Federal Union. Philadelphia: William Young Birch and Abraham Small, 1803. Five volumes. Reprinted 1996 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. With a New Critical Introduction by Paul Finkelman and David Cobin. LCCN 96-12566. ISBN-13: 978-1-886363-15-1. ISBN-10: 1-886363-15-3. Cloth. * Reprint of the rare sole edition. The first extended treatment of the subject, Tucker's Blackstone is a key resource for understanding how Americans viewed English common law in the years following the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Based on his lectures at the College of William and Mary, Tucker interprets Blackstone's often antidemocratic viewpoint in the American context. A strong proponent of the First Amendment, he elaborates a theory of freedom of speech and press that is more expansive than in the English tradition. "Tucker's Blackstone became a standard reference work for many American lawyers unable to consult a law library, especially those on the frontier. It is impossible to measure its impact on American law, but it is clear that sales were strongest in Virginia, as could be expected; it was also widely used in Pennsylvania and South Carolina." Bryson, The Virginia Law Reporter Before 1800 102. Tucker's Blackstone has been cited in numerous cases by the U.S. Supreme Court in an attempt to discern the original intent of the Constitution. Eller, The William Blackstone Collection in the Yale Law Library 87. Sabin, A Dictionary of Books relating to America 5696. Cohen, Bibliography of Early American Law 5318. A monumental work of continuing relevance, this reprint edition is prefaced by a new critical introduction by Professors Paul Finkelman and David Cobin.
