Review of “Justice Joseph Story and the Rise of the Supreme Court”

New York Times Book Review (May 30, 1971).

Book Review of Justice Joseph Story and the Rise of the Supreme Court, by Gerald T. Dunne (1971).

Excerpt:

To generations of American lawyers, Joseph Story has been an unavoidable but shadowy figure (shadowy in part because overshadowed by his contemporary, Chief Justice John Marshall). Story is the author of Martin v. Hunter’s Lessee, as fundamental to our constitutional structure as Marbury v. Madison but no triumph of style or concision.
