Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP). Once listed, this will be the Only copy of this book for sale anywhere on the Internet. It's a 34 page lecture, 'The Eighth Annual Benjamin N. Cardozo Lecture Delivered Before The Association Of The Bar Of The City Of New York April 12, 1949.' Douglas begins: 'Mo…st lawyers, by training and practice, are all too apt to turn their interests and their talents toward the finding not the creating of precedents. This lawyerly search is for moorings where clients can be safely anchored. But the search has, as well, a deeper, more personal impetus. For the lawyer himself shares the yearning for security that is common to all people everywhere. And this yearning grows as the world seems to grow more insecure.' This book, published so long ago, is in excellent condition. The covers are exceptionally clean. The gilt lettering and design on the spine nicely bright. There really isn't any conspicuous wear. There are tiny spots of light rubbing at the four corners and on the sides of the spine ends. There is a speck of discoloration a little bit above the front bottom corner, a tiny spot of rubbing just off the front bottom edge, and a small bit of color loss off the rear bottom edge. I've provided photographs of the covers. The cover edges look very good. The spine is in very solid shape. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are very clean. I turned them all over. There isn't any soiling. There isn't any creasing. The first front end paper has some tanning beside the juncture. There is also a penned inscription on the page, dated in 1978. 'This book is for my wonderful son, Charles, who has always been a source of joy. Love, Mom.' There is no other writing to be found anywhere in the book. There are no markings and there are no attachments. From Wikipedia: 'William Orville Douglas was an American jurist and politician who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Douglas was confirmed at the age of 40, one of the youngest justices appointed to the court. His term, lasting 36 years and 211 days (1939-75), is the longest in the history of the Supreme Court. In 1975, Time magazine called Douglas 'the most doctrinaire and committed civil libertarian ever to sit on the court.'.
