Summary

In 'Ancient Law' by Sir Henry Sumner Maine, the author delves into a comparative study of early legal systems, focusing on the evolution of law from primitive societies to more complex civilizations. Maine elegantly discusses the transition from customary laws to formal legislation, examining the implications of these changes on society. His insightful analysis is enriched with historical examples and legal theory, making this book a seminal work in the study of legal evolution. Maine's engaging writing style captivates readers, offering a scholarly yet accessible exploration of ancient legal systems. Sir Henry Sumner Maine, a renowned jurist and legal historian, draws on his vast expertise in law and anthropology to produce 'Ancient Law.' Maine's background as a professor of jurisprudence at Oxford University provides him with the necessary knowledge and insight to tackle this complex subject matter with precision and clarity. I highly recommend 'Ancient Law' to readers interested in the origins and development of legal systems. Maine's thorough research and scholarly approach make this book essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the evolution of law and its impact on society.

    A concise history of how American law has shaped—and been shaped by—the experience of contagion, "taking us from the smallpox outbreaks of the colonies to COVID-19. . . . The conclusion [Witt] arrives at is devastating." —Jennifer Szalai, The New York TimesFrom yellow fever to smallpox to polio to AIDS to COVID-19, epidemics have prompted Americans to make choices and answer questions about their basic values and their laws. In five concise chapters, historian John Fabian Witt traces the legal history of epidemics, showing how infectious disease has both shaped, and been shaped by, the law. Arguing that throughout American history legal approaches to public health have been liberal for some communities and authoritarian for others, Witt shows us how history's answers to the major questions brought up by previous epidemics help shape our answers today: What is the relationship between individual liberty and the common good? What is the role of the federal government, and what is the role of the states? Will long-standing traditions of government and law give way to the social imperatives of an epidemic? Will we let the inequities of our mixed tradition continue?
