The Ages of American Law (2nd Edition)

Grant Gilmore (Yale Law School). The Ages of American Law (Yale University Press, 2nd ed. 2014).

"Following its publication in 1977, Grant Gilmore's compact portrait of the development of American law from the eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century became a classic. In this new edition, the portrait is brought up to date with a new chapter by Philip Bobbitt that surveys the trajectory of American law since the original publication of Gilmore's masterpiece. Bobbitt also provides a Foreword on Gilmore and the celebrated lectures that inspired The Ages of American Law."
