Story viewed with apprehension the rapid increase of reports, that had then reached - State and Federal together - the alarming number of a hundred and fifty volumes; and the student of to-day, contemplating the crowded shelves of our libraries, may well share the alarm of the jurist, while he entertains a feeling akin to sympathy with the reasons that actuated the barbarian. With the issuance of volumes, whose bare enumeration is an exhausting labor, and for the perusal of which time is altogether inadequate, there has arisen a pressing - an absolute - need of condensation and classification. The requirements of a work that will meet this demand are: that it shall be complete in its citations of authorities and enable the practitioner to determine the judicial construction of statute law without the necessity of consulting some hundreds of volumes; and that it shall be concise.

Before the late 19th century, natural law played an important role in the American legal system. Lawyers routinely used it in their arguments and judges often relied upon it in their opinions. Today, by contrast, natural law plays virtually no role in the legal system. When natural law was part of a lawyer's toolkit, lawyers thought of judges as finders of the law, but when natural law dropped out of the legal system, lawyers began thinking of judges as makers of the law instead. In The Decline of Natural Law, the eminent legal historian Stuart Banner explores the causes and consequences of this change. To do this, Banner discusses the ways in which lawyers used natural law and why the concept seemed reasonable to them. He further examines several long-term trends in legal thought that weakened the position of natural law, including the use of written constitutions, the gradual separation of the spheres of law and religion, the rapid growth of legal publishing, and the position of natural law in some of the 19th century's most contested legal issues. And finally, he describes both the profession's rejection of natural law in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the ways in which the legal system responded to the absence of natural law. The first book to explain how natural law once worked in the American legal system, The Decline of Natural Law offers a unique look into how and why this major shift in legal thought happened, and focuses, in particular, on the shift from the idea that law is something we find to something we make.
