The Teaching of English Law at Harvard is a book written by Albert Venn Dicey in the year 1900. The book provides a comprehensive account of the teaching of English law at Harvard University during the late 19th century. The author, who was a professor of law at Oxford University, visited Harvard in 1893 and 1894 to observe the teaching methods and curriculum of the university's law school.The book begins with an overview of the history of legal education in England and the United States, and then goes on to describe the curriculum and teaching methods used at Harvard. Dicey provides detailed accounts of the lectures and seminars on various areas of English law, including contract law, property law, and criminal law. He also discusses the role of case law in legal education, and the importance of legal reasoning and analysis.In addition to describing the teaching of English law at Harvard, the book also offers insights into the broader issues of legal education and the relationship between law and society. Dicey argues that legal education should not only teach students the technical aspects of the law, but should also instill in them a sense of the social and moral responsibilities of the legal profession.Overall, The Teaching of English Law at Harvard is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of legal education, the teaching of English law, and the role of law in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
