First Edition. Signed Felix Frankfurter: A Premier Legal Association Copy from the Library of John Forrest Floberg Frankfurter, Felix [1882-1965]. The Public and Its Government. New Haven: Yale University Press. 1931. [viii], 170 pp. Cloth in lightly rubbed and moderately edgeworn dust jacket, bookplate of John Forrest Floberg t…o front pastedown. Moderate toning to interior, faint dampstaining to head of text block near gutter, large signature of Felix Frankfurter to front free endpaper. $450. * First edition, second printing. This work represents a superb intersection of American legal theory and political history. Published just years before his appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States, this work originated as the 1930 "Yale Lectures on the Responsibilities of Citizenship." In it, Frankfurter delivers a rigorous interpretation of democracy that contemporary critics, including C.P. Howland, noted was the kind of "first-class political thinking" that had long been missing from the American landscape. This particular copy is distinguished by a large, bold signature of Felix Frankfurter on the front free endpaper and bears the bookplate of its distinguished previous owner, John Forrest Floberg. A prominent lawyer in his own right, Floberg served as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Harry S. Truman before transitioning to a high-profile corporate career as General Counsel and Vice-President for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. C.P. Howland, Yale Law Journal 40: 672-673. Signed.
