Commentaries on American Law. By JAMES KENT. Volume I. New York. O. Halsted. 1826. 8vo. pp. 508.

WHILE the law is continually becoming, in this country, more and more intricate, and the obstacles to the mastery of it more and more formidable to the student, there is, at the same time, an almost correspondent multiplication of helps and facilities in the acquisition of legal knowledge. Of these means of assisting the young, and improving the character of the profession, we shall now advert only to the establishment of law-schools by private gentlemen of legal eminence, and of law-professorships in our colleges. It is about half a century since the late Judge Reeve opened a school for the instruction of students at law, at Litchfield, in Connecticut, and adopted the plan of delivering a systematical course of lectures. That school, afterwards taught jointly by its venerable founder and Mr. Gould, is still maintained, with undiminished reputation and advantage, by the latter gentleman, and has, for more than thirty years, been the resort of numerous pupils from all parts of the United States. Many of the most eminent men of our country, in the several departments of the national and state governments, and especially at the bar and on the bench, received their legal education, wholly or in part, at this approved institution. The reputation and utility of this first successful attempt, in the United States, to facilitate the attainment of legal science, by stated, methodical, written instruction, intermixed with the requisite oral illustration, have contributed much to the establishment of other private schools of a similar kind, and to the introduction into, or connexion with, our public seminaries, of a highly improved course of lectures on our general and local jurisprudence.
