展品

珍本书室于1996年落成，以纪念丹尼尔R. Coquillette，前法学院院长(1985-1993)和J. 唐纳德·莫南，S.J. 大学教授. 他的愿景, 当房间正在建造的时候, 是一个可访问的, welcoming space in the center of the law library where students could engage with their history as members of the legal profession. His book donations comprise the core of the 珍本书室’s holdings and are used regularly for exhibitions and class visits.

Professor Coquillette began collecting rare books in the late 1960s when he was a graduate student at Oxford University. His Fulbright scholarship included a £2000 book stipend that was a “use or lose it” perk. He started visiting booksellers in Oxford and London and caught the collecting bug. 他继续收集, Professor Coquillette’s primary goal became acquiring books that working lawyers in England would have owned in the 15th-18th centuries. 的se were not books to be gazed at upon a shelf but instead were crucial to the everyday practice of law. 这包括年鉴、案例报告、表格书和论文. 其他的捐赠涵盖了罗马法等各种各样的主题, 弗朗西斯•培根和英国平民.

展览由劳雷尔·戴维斯策划. 它将一直展出到2024年秋季. 珍本书室平日上午9点开放.m.–5:00 p.m. 的展览目录可下载.

弗朗西斯•培根 英国普通法要件 . . . 一些主要规则和格言的集合. 伦敦,1639年.

One of Professor Coquillette’s scholarly and book-collecting interests has been 弗朗西斯•培根 (1561–1626), 英国科学家, 哲学家, 政治家, 和律师. This is the earliest of Bacon’s legal texts, written around 1597 but only published posthumously. 它精选了来自普通法和民事来源的25条格言, 如“必要性为个人权利引入了例外”.” Bacon follows the brief statement of the maxim with analysis, examples, and exceptions. 培根的作品相当不连贯和神秘格言 has been recognized as one of the first English legal works to delve into policy considerations behind existing legal doctrines.

托马斯•霍布斯 在《利维坦》. 伦敦，1651年[实际上]. 1670].

This is the famous “Bear” edition of Hobbes’s great work of political philosophy. It is identical to the actual 1651 first edition except for the bear illustration in the printer’s ornament on the title page, 就在霍布斯下面.” Note the famous engraved ornamental frontispiece showing a crowned and armed monarch (“sovereign”) made up of hundreds of tiny people. Hobbes advocated for a social contract theory in which people cede individual liberty to an absolute monarch in exchange for safety and security. He felt this type of government was best suited to avoid the chaos wrought by events like the English Civil War.
