Felony and Misdemeanor [1937]

<p class=ql-align-justify>Immediately acclaimed as one of the most important contributions to European legal history <em>Felony and Misdemeanor</em> has a broader scope than its title suggests. Grounded in social and political history it is a study of the legal institutions of the Frankish Empire Normandy and pre-conquest England and their contributions to the formation of Anglo-American private law public law and judicial administration. In a 1938 review for the <em>Harvard Law Review</em> Max Radin said it was a first-rate achievement (51:1465). Complete in itself this work was intended to have a second volume which was never published.</p><p class=ql-align-justify> </p><p class=ql-align-justify>[A] very able piece of work on a difficult topic...
