foggy jurisprudence

ewwwwww. It's foggy today. The only thing that I like about fog is that it reminds me of one of my favorite "chapter books" from my wonder years. I think the book even came with a locket. Or, maybe that was a princess book. Ah... the glory days. Now, I'm stuck with Law and Jurisprudence in American History. ewwwwwwwww.

(I don't think Law and Jurisprudence ever won any Newburry Honors...)

Book Description


Greta had always loved the fog—the soft gray mist that rolled in from the sea and drifted over the village. The fog seemed to have a secret to tell her. Then one day when Greta was walking in the woods and the mist was closing in, she saw the dark outline of a stone house against the spruce trees—a house where only an old cellar hole should have been. Then she saw a surrey come by, carrying a lady dressed in plum- colored silk. The woman beckoned for Greta to join her, and soon Greta found herself launched on an adventure that would take her back to a past that existed only through the magic of the fog.

Book Description

Originally published in 1980, this text was the first casebook in the field of American legal history. It encouraged the formation of the modern discipline of American legal history, sought to create a canon for the field, and is now regarded as a classic compilation. There are two main alterations or additions to this edition. The first is a reworking of the slavery materials in Chapter Four, substituting the testimony of the slaves themselves. The second major change in the book is the addition of materials regarding the impeachment and trial of President Clinton.
