In the year 1886-87 Professor A mes offered in the Harvard Law School a course of about sixteen lectures, which he entitled Points in Legal History. This course was repeated later, in the years 1889-90 and 1894-95. Several of the lectures were subsequently published in the Harvard Law Review, and one or two in the Green Bag, but about a third of the matter of the lectures has never been published. These lectures are given herein substantially as they were delivered, having been prepared for publication from the following sources: 1. Professor A mess own notes, which were full and accurate 2. Shorthand notes taken by Professor Samuel Williston, of Cambridge, in 1886-87. 3. Notes taken in 1886-87 by Judge Julian W. Mack, of Chicago. 4. Notes taken in 1889-90 by Professor Ezra R. Thayer, of Cambridge. 5. Notes taken in 1894-95 7P rofessor Harry S. Richards, of Madison. 6. Notes taken in 1886-87 corrected in 1894-5 by Professor Joseph H. Beale, of Cambridge. Several of the published lectures were reprinted inS elect Essays in A nglo-A merican Legal History, published in 1909 by Little, Brown, Co., Boston, with additions to the notes made by Professor A mes. These additions have here been reprinted with the permission of the publishers. Several passages from his unpublished lectures were incorporated by Professor A mes in some of his published lectures.
