Extra informatie From the Publisher : Published together for the first time, these extra-judicial writings of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo bring to the reader hitherto unpublished manuscripts as well as oft-quoted writings and addresses. The four books included in their entirety are "Nature of the Judicial Process," "Growth of the Law," "Paradoxes of Legal Science," and "Law and Literature." Each one of these volumes is a classic, not only of the law but of philosophy and sheer literary beauty. Among the materials in this volume are his class notes taken as a student under Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, his Columbia College Commencement Address, and his famous New York State Bar Association Address. The first chapter of this book, "Values," was requested by hundreds of men in the Armed Forces during World War II. His essay on Matthew Arnold bears out his belief in the correlation between beauty and truth. It has been said of Cardozo that "the word majesty belonged to him," that he was "without fear and without reproach," that his language was "lambent and rich." Benjamin Nathan Cardozo was born in New York City on May 24, 1870. He was graduated from Columbia College with honors when he was nineteen. His two years' studies at Columbia Law School were followed by admission to the New York State Bar in 1891. For twenty-two years he practiced law, quickly gaining the esteem of the Bench and Bar. Cardozo was elected a Justice of the Supreme Court of New York in 1913 and shortly thereafter was designated a temporary Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals. In January 1917, he was ap pointed a regular member of that Court and in November was elected for a four teen year term. In 1926, upon similar nomination he was elected Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. He was appointed by President Hoover as Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1932. Mr. Justice Cardozo's ancestors came to America from the Spanish peninsula, settling in New York before the Revolution. He died July 9, 1938, at the home of his intimate friend, Judge Irving Lehman, in Port Chester, New York. Quiet, gentle and reserved, from boy hood till death, Benjamin Nathan Car dozo walked steadily along the path of reason seeking ever the goal of truth and justice.
