"Following its publication in 1977, Grant Gilmore's compact portrait of the development of American law from the eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century became a classic. In this new edition, the portrait is brought up to date with a new chapter by Philip Bobbitt that surveys the trajectory of American law since the original publication of Gilmore's masterpiece. Bobbitt also provides a Foreword on Gilmore and the celebrated lectures that inspired The Ages of American Law."
