{"product_id":"justice-holmes-anthony-murray-9781616193881","title":"Justice Holmes: The Measure of His Thought","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten in a lucid style and well illustrated, \u003cem\u003eJustice Holmes: The Measure of His Thought\u003c\/em\u003e offers a biographical look at the influences that have shaped his judicial outlook, especially his open-minded refusal to inject his own views into his legal decisions. The authors demonstrate--especially through United States Supreme Court Justice Holmes's 1919 opinions on speech--what would be obvious to a veteran of the courtroom, but not always to a biographer or a professor: that there is a big difference between \"questions of law\" before an appellate judge, and \"questions of fact\" determined by a trial judge or jury. The authors also examine Holmes's childhood and family influences as well as his Civil War experience that shaped his views on natural law and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book describes Holmes's intellectual influences and includes photos of his book collection now at the Library of Congress. Through a discussion of the letters Holmes wrote at his Beverly Farms, MA home where he summered when the Court was not in session, we are given a window into his remarkable wit as well as his philosophical views. The book includes rare photographs of Beverly Farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Murray, Edwin G.
