Warren, Samuel. [Clerke, Thomas W.]. A Popular and Practical Introduction to Law Studies, and to Every Department of the Legal Profession, Civil, Criminal, and Ecclesiastical: With an Account of the State of the Law in Ireland and Scotland, and Occasional Illustrations from American Law. From the Second London Edition. Entirely Remodeled, Rewritten and Greatly Enlarged With an American Introduction and Appendix by Thomas W. Clerke. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1846. xxiv, 674 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 2003052752. ISBN 1-58477-378-2. Cloth. $130. * Reprint of the second American edition, which is based on the second revised London edition, 1845. This classic guide to legal study and practice was first issued in England and the United States in 1836. Not content to limit himself to practical advice, Warren [1807-1877] adds a primer on legal ethics (and a sampling of encouraging maxims). Clerk's additions include a fascinating six-page supplement to the chapter on special pleading that attacks the New York State reforms proposed by David Dudley Field. He also includes an outline of the recently reorganized Harvard Law School Curriculum. "It stands at the head of all works of its class for amount and variety of information, felicity of illustration, and a spirit-stirring and sparkling style": Marvin, Legal Bibliography (1847) 719.

Page 47 - He was bred to the law, which is, in my opinion, one of the first and noblest of human sciences; a science which does more to quicken and invigorate the understanding, than all the other kinds of learning put together ; but it is not apt, except in persons very happily born, to open and to liberalize the mind exactly in the same proportion.
