Americanization of the Common Law: The Impact of Legal Change on Massachusetts Society, 1760-1830
"[This is] one of those exceptional first books that with the passage of time may become a classic of historical literature. . . . Even the curious first-time reader of American legal history will profit from the engaging and informative discussion of the impact of the Revolution upon Massachusetts law, as well as the economic and social life of the province."--Columbia Law Review
