First line
"THE LIFE OF THE LAW," Holmes said in his most famous epigram, "has not been logic: it has been experience."
From the rear cover
"Noonan's analyses challenge even as they charm; simultaneously they constitute both pieces of creative scholarship and literary gems. I have read and re-read this slim volume and have strongly recommended it to students as an example of how an imaginative scholar can start with what seems commonplace and force us to reexamine our own conclusions--and occasionally values."--Walter F. Murphy, author of American Constitutional Interpretation
"A classic work, highly influential, widely cited."--Martin Shapiro, author of Seeking the Center
"Persons and Masks of the Law is a brilliant conception, beautifully realized. I congratulate the author on this sparely and wholly expressed idea."--Robert K. Merton, Columbia University
"A beautifully written and probing discussion by an eminent legal philosopher. Professor Noonan strips the faade from judge-made law, and exposes the often unpleasant reality that citizens must confront daily."--Norman Dorsen, New York University School of Law
"I am struck by the timelessness of the work. I have always thought of it as a great book. What I now see is that it is a book that will never be out of date. The reason is simple: it brings a great legal mind of our own time into conversation with the greatest legal minds of the past."--Robert P. George, author of The Clash of Orthodoxies
