Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Michigan Law Review
The first edition of the Encyclopedia Americana (1829-1833) contains numerous articles on a wide variety of legal subjects, including such topics as Common Law, Jury, Equity, etc. The identity of the author of these articles is not disclosed. There is an occasional footnote, however, which declares: "this article prepared by an eminent American jurist." This suggested the possibility of a lively and interesting manhunt--a search for the "eminent American jurist" who agreed to submit articles on law for the Encyclopedia, but who preferred to remain anonymous.
