Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press, 1946. 172, xiv pp. Printed sewn wrappers, moderately worn and soiled. Front endleaves detached. A good copy. $25. * A biography and technical analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court Justice William R. Day, focusing on his contributions to constitutional law during his judicial tenure.
