The Provinces Of The Written And The Unwritten Law: An Address (1889)

""The Provinces of the Written and the Unwritten Law: An Address"" is a book written by James Coolidge Carter and published in 1889. The book is a collection of speeches delivered by Carter on the topics of law and legal systems. The author discusses the distinction between the written law, which is codified and enforced by the government, and the unwritten law, which is based on customs and traditions. Carter argues that the unwritten law is just as important as the written law because it reflects the values and beliefs of a society. He also explores the challenges of implementing and enforcing the law in different regions and cultures. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in legal theory and the history of law.Delivered At The Annual Meeting Of The Virginia State Bar Association, At White Sulphur Springs, July 25, 1889.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
