Michigan Law Review
The lawyer who, for the last two decades has kept abreast of the literature of the law, is appreciative of the fact that no branch of the old law has received such scientific and scholarly treatment, as has the law of evidence, and few of the more modern fields have been as thoroughly and intelligently cultivated. Led by Professor Thayer in that incomparable series of essays gathered under one title in his "Preliminary Treatise on Evidence at the Common Law," followed by Professor Wigmore with his edition of Greenleaf's first volume, and later by his great work "Evidence in Trials …

Judge Story's work appeared at a critical period in Aterican legal history. The bitterness toward England which lingered after the Revolution, intensified by the unhappy war of 182, was no doubt responsible for the hostility toward and suspicion of that peculiarly English institution, the common law.' Evidence is not wanting that our courts were drifting away from the common law doctrines and becoming more -responsive to the appeals of civil law. There was thus furnished a condition favorable to the reception of Roman law through some French form such as the Code Napolion. English equity, in particular, stood in a …

Dr. Freund's book was read by the reviewer in the summer of 1917, but a combination of circumstances, greatly regretted by him, has prevented the completion and publishing of the review then pa'rtially prepared. The justification for printing it now lies in the excellence of Dr. Freund's work and. in the vital importance of careful study by American lawyers of the too long neglected field of legislation as, with the War, apparently ended, the Nation enters upon a period of political and social reconstruction, which seems destined to be epochal. With the organized forces of the titanic struggle halted, and …

If there is a living American qualified to prepare material for the student of future interests probably law teachers would agree that Professor Kales is the man. He has written a book on Future Estates in Illinois which has made a distinct impression on the law of that state and is recognized elsewhere as a sound and scholarly treatise. He has taught the course on future interests and illegal restraints at Northwestern University Law School for many years, and last year gave the same course at Harvard.

It was peculiarly fortunate for the cause of the American Revolution that the sympathies of the French people and the policies of the French foreign office which knew no diplomatic methods save those of secret diplomacy, were for once heartily in accord in support of the American revolutionists. Professor Corwin in this book deals entirely with the complicated and obscure political plots and counter-plots which eventually led France to espouse openly the cause of the revolting colonies. The whole question of the timely aid France gave to America has, of course, a very particular value at the present time when …
