Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Library of the University of California Los Angles: School of Law The Chicago Law Institute was founded in 1857. The object and intention of its organization was "for literary purposes, the cultivation of legal science, the advancement of jurisprudence, and the formation of a law library in the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook." Fuller information regarding its organization will be found in the charter and by-laws appended to this volume. The law library was immediately started by a consolidation of different libraries of individual stockholders, and was sustained in the manner set forth in the charter and by-laws. At the time of the great conflagration in October, 1871, the library contained about 7,000 volumes, mainly English and American reports. The fire totally destroyed it. Its re-establishment was immediately begun, and by purchase and voluntary contributions on the part of several states of their reports, and of private parties, who sent us valuable works from their own libraries (for instance, Professor Langdell of Harvard, 109 volumes of the English Statutes at Large - well bound), we had acquired 2,000 volumes one year after the fire. December 31, 1901, the library contained 38,224 volumes. A great many duplicate session laws and state publications are not included in this number. The first catalogue of our library was published in 1881, when we had 14,000 volumes. A revised edition was published January 15, 1887, when the library contained nearly 20,000 bound volumes. Lists of yearly accessions were printed, which were consolidated in 1893 under the title of supplemental catalogue. These publications were very defective. Additional catalogues were undertaken from time to time by assistant librarians, but not completed, until at a general meeting in 1901 the executive committee ordered a catalogue of the library to be prepared and printed. What we said in the preface to the 1881 and 1887 catalogue applies also to the present one: "There are no bibliographical merits whatever claimed for this catalogue.
