Beschreibung

An Original Handwritten Letter Signed by MP Lord Arthur John Edward Russell to Lady Maine. Dated 1888. A letter to Lady Maine thanking her for the volumes of lectures sent and that he has been unwell, and hoping to see her in the near future. This was sent just after Sir Henry had died. Lord Arthur John Edward Russell 1825-1892 was a British Liberal Party politician. Sir Henry James Sumner Maine 1822-1888, was a British Whig comparative jurist and historian. He is famous for the thesis outlined in his book Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract." According to the thesis, in the ancient world individuals were tightly bound by status to traditional groups, while in the modern one, in which individuals are viewed as autonomous agents, they are free to make contracts and form associations with whomever they choose. Because of this thesis, Maine can be seen as one of the forefathers of modern legal anthropology, legal history and sociology of law. Size is 175mm x 11omm. Condition is good. Light folding crease.
