A Law Dictionary. Compiled by John Bouvier [1787-1851]

Distinctive for its particular emphasis on American law. Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States of America, and of the Several States of the American Union; with References to the Civil and Other Systems of Foreign Law.

"During his years of study [Bouvier] had discovered the handicap under which the student and lawyer labored at that time due to the lack of a law dictionary containing legal information logically and conveniently compiled. He began work on a great dictionary and indefatigably applied himself to it, in spite of increasing duties. Nevertheless, in 1839, he was able to give his completed law dictionary to fill the need of the legal profession. [In it] he sought to cover all legal subjects and terms arising under such a title, giving citations from federal and state courts."
