About this Item

Presentation copy of the First Edition, inscribed: 'For Jack and Adelaide/--with deep affection--/Harry'. vi, 1 leaf, 117 pp, 1 leaf. Original cloth. Very Good+, in very good+ dust jacket (small chip at head of spine). Jones was 'the recipient in 1976 of the infrequently awarded [Henry M] Phillips Prize. That award was made in recognition of Jones's having been a significant shaper of American legal thought by writings deemed likely to have a continuing large and beneficial influence -- as, indeed, they have had. . . . The Phillips Prize was a mark of special esteem for two of Harry Jones's then recent works, The Efficacy of Law (1969) and 'An Invitation to Jurisprudence,' published in 1974 in the Columbia Law Review. To single out two from the many significant writings of this scholar must have been a difficult task for the prize committee. Jones's body of work throughout his long life was impressive in quantity and in depth and in formulation of standards' (Walter Gellhorn, 'Harry Willmer Jones (4 March 1911-6 April 1993)', Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, Vol. 139, No. 1, March, 1995, pp. 110-113). The list of Henry M. Phillips Prize in Jurisprudence winners is illustrious -- it includes Lon Fuller (1935), Edward S. Corwin (1942), Roscoe Pound (1960), Karl N. Llewellyn (1962), John Rawls (1974), Ronald Dworkin (1994), Joel Feinberg (1997), Bruce A. Ackerman (2002), and Cass R. Sunstein (2007). Seller Inventory # 17200
