About This Item
New York: American Heritage Publishing Co., Inc, 1974. Hardcover. Books: New; unread, spines are sunned Slipcase: Good; intact. A handsome boxed set. The first volume, The American Heritage History of the Law in America, by legal scholar and historian Bernard Schwartz, is a comprehensive look at American legal history from pre-revolution America to the twentieth century. The New York Times wrote that Schwartz "helped lawyers and lay readers alike to fathom the inner workings of the American system of government," and this book, filled with fascinating stories and insightful analysis, confirms his skill. The second volume, Stories of Great Crimes & Trials from American Heritage Magazine, is a compilation of over 30 articles originally published in American Heritage magazine between 1955 and 1973 dealing with different crimes and trials. From "Sacco Guilty, Vanzetti Innocent?" a new theory on the Sacco & Vanzetti trial of 1920 to "Vendetta in New Orleans," the story of a murdered police chief in the nineteenth century, the book is full of stories that will intrigue anyone with an interest in crime stories. Both volumes are lavishly illustrated with black-and-whtie and color plates, and feature embossed design on their front covers. The 2 books come together in a slipcase.
