"Sure to be the standard reference for all subsequent scholarship."—John Noble Wilford, New York Times Book Review"A critical contribution to legal literature, and definitely worth having."—Peter J. Messitte, Trial Booknews This three-volume set, the first three in a five-volume edition, is an authoritative collection of public papers that covers a span of 76 years, from Holmes's first publication as a college sophomore in 1858 to a letter written shortly before his death in 1935. It comprises everything that Holmes wrote which was intended either for print publication or for delivery to an audience and, in volumes 4 and 5, his most significant judicial opinions. Instead of adding a great many isolated footnotes to Holmes's text to explain the context, editor Novick (scholar in residence, Vermont Law School) has collected this material in three connected essays: A Brief Biography of Justice Holmes, Holmes's Philosophy and Jurisprudence, and A Critical Appraisal. Includes a name index and a table of cases. Slipcased. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
