Abstract: Abstract Finally, after surmounting so many obstacles like Doubleday’s “incredible” and “unforgivable” delay and wartime paper shortages, Crawford reached a milestone in her life when American Folk Songs for Children appeared on November 4, 1948. Margaret Lesser sent a telegram-”Folk Songs Officially Published Today with an advance order of more than 2000. Three Cheers for you and the book:’ Doubleday launched the book with a splash, taking photographs and collecting blurbs from Carl Sandburg, who gave the book “sweeping and unqualified endorsement” for their press packets.

Abstract: The rule of law is essential to peace, and to the development and realisation of human rights. The practice of law is a privilege, but one that carries the heavy responsibility of ensuring respect for the law. In an interdependent world, lawyers must communicate and interact amongst themselves and with others, both at the national and international levels. The International Bar Association, as a professional body with a long and distinguished record of achievement, plays an important role in this respect. Written by eminent practitioners and jurists, this volume of essays marks the occasion of the Association's 50th anniversary. It takes as its theme the concept of the globalisation of the law, offering an in-depth and forward-looking analysis of a wide range of topics, among them: - the role of the lawyer in the information society, - the future of multidisciplinary practices, - the future of the foreign legal practitioner, - the role of law in economic development and the fight against corruption, and - the role of the lawyer in the UN. The preeminence of the International Bar Association in the practice, the milestone occasion marked by this work, the expertise of the authors, and the significance of the theme addressed all make Global Law in Practice a work of lasting import.

Abstract: Abstract The reaction to the Supreme Court decision was predictable. Southerners were not pleased, Northerners praised the verdict without discerning any implications for slavery, and the abolitionists pronounced it ,a milestone for their cause. Expressions of dissatisfaction in the South were mild, which perhaps suggested that the Emancipator was correct when it had earlier observed that the Southern press wished to keep the Amistad affair quiet for fear of its setting a dangerous precedent for American slaves. The Mobile Commercial Register & Patriot considered the court decree an "insult" to Spain and "no small triumph" for the abolitionists, whereas the Charleston Courier and the New Orleans Times Picayune merely reported the outcome. The Courier remarked, however, that Story's ruling had not "come up to the expectation of many in its arguments."
