Schofield, Henry. Essays on Constitutional Law and Equity and Other Subjects. Boston: The Chipman Law Publishing Company, 1921. Two volumes. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 2001043982. ISBN 1-58477-223-9. Cloth. $195. * In the foreword, John H. Wigmore writes: "The essays here collected are a rich revelation of a genius at once critical and constructive in the highest degree... No modern writer in that field has excelled him-and only one or two have equaled him-in mastery of the entire complex of Federal decisions and in firm grasp of constitutional principles." And of Schofield's style Wigmore raves: "Once entered upon his text the reader is carried along irresistibly by the sheer pleasure of following the reasoning. No modern law writer has a style at once so personal and yet so entirely scientific." Foreword vi, vii. Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University (1953) 402.

Strana 508 - At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.

Strana 69 - It is essential to the preservation of the rights of every individual, his life, liberty, property, and character that there be an impartial interpretation of the laws, and administration of justice.

Strana 39 - that the laws of the several States, except where the Constitution, treaties, or statutes of the United States shall otherwise require or provide, shall be regarded as rules of decision in trials at common law in the courts of the United States, in cases where they apply.
Strana 509 - It is a maxim, not to be disregarded, that general expressions, in every opinion, are to be taken in connection with the case in which those expressions are used. If they go beyond the case, they may be respected, but ought not to control the judgment in a subsequent suit, when the very point is presented for decision.
Strana 461 - That no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested or burthened, in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities.
Strana 424 - As men, whose intentions require no concealment, generally employ the words which most directly and aptly express the ideas they intend to convey, the enlightened patriots who framed our constitution, and the people who adopted it, must be understood to have employed words in their natural sense, and to have intended what they have said.
Strana 153 - And the said records and judicial proceedings, authenticated as aforesaid, shall have such faith and credit given to them in every court within the United States as they have by law or usage in the courts of the State from whence the said records are or shall be taken.
Strana 637 - Granting to any corporation, association or individual any special or exclusive privilege, immunity or franchise whatever.
Strana 461 - Because we hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth " that religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.
