A Treatise on the Law of Libel and the Liberty of the Press; Showing the Origin, Use, and Abuse of the Law of Libel: With Copious Notes and References to Authorities in Great Britain and the United States: As Applicable to Individuals and to Political and Ecclesiastical Bodies and Principles.

Cloth. $95. * Cooper [1759-1835] was an attorney, chemistry professor and influential Jeffersonian political pamphleteer who was, according to Dictionary of American Biography, "one of the first to sow the seeds of secession." DAB II: 415. His "passionate hostility to tyranny in any form" (DAB II: 415) is evident in this commentary on freedom of the press wherein he links the law of libel to the Sedition Act of 1798. During the six months he spent in prison for his objection to the Sedition Act he wrote the first treatise on American bankruptcy laws, The Bankrupt Law of America, Compared with The Bankrupt Law of England, which was published in 1801.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Libel and the Liberty of the Press: Showing the Origin, Use, and Abuse of the Law of Libel; With Copious Notes and References to Authorities in Great Britain and the United States; As Applicable Individuals and to Political and Ecclesiastical Bodies and Principles Those who are averse to have their own opin ions examined, are manifestly actuated more by attachment to their own tenets than to truth. They arrogate for themselves a privilege which they deny to their neighbor; and they suggest the suspicious inquiry - IS there any concealed interest in the back ground that causes discus sion to be dreaded and opposed! I intend, therefore, upon the present occasion, to maintain the right OF free discussion, in its fullest extent: as applied to any and every ques tion, opinion, or doctrine, political, theological, moral, metaphysical, or philosophical, within the widest range of human inquiry: and I trust I Shall Show, that the cause of truth, and the inte rest of the public, requires the free and full exer cise of the right now claimed: and that in all times and places, those who have, been so anxious to throw fetters around the human intellect, have had no other motive for so doing, than to keep the persons, and the property of their fellow men, more completely within their own control.

Book Synopsis The Revolution in Freedoms of Press and Speech by : Wendell Bird
Download or read book The Revolution in Freedoms of Press and Speech written by Wendell Bird and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the revolutionary broadening of concepts of freedom of press and freedom of speech in Great Britain and in America in the late eighteenth century, in the period that produced state declarations of rights and then the First Amendment and Fox's Libel Act. The conventional view of the history of freedoms of press and speech is that the common law since antiquity defined those freedoms narrowly, and that Sir William Blackstone in 1769, and Lord Chief Justice Mansfield in 1770, faithfully summarized the common law in giving a very narrow definition of those freedoms as mere liberty from prior restraint and not liberty from punishment after something was printed or spoken. This book proposes, to the contrary, that Blackstone carefully selected the narrowest definition that had been suggested in popular essays in the prior seventy years, in order to oppose the growing claims for much broader protections of press and speech. Blackstone misdescribed his summary as an accepted common law definition, which in fact did not exist. A year later, Mansfield inserted a similar definition into the common law for the first time, also misdescribing it as a long-accepted definition, and soon misdescribed the unique rules for prosecuting sedition as having an equally ancient pedigree. Blackstone and Mansfield were not declaring the law as it had long been, but were leading a counter-revolution about the breadth of freedoms of press and speech, and cloaking it as a summary of a narrow common law doctrine that in fact was nonexistent. That conflict of revolutionary view and counter-revolutionary view continues today. For over a century, a neo-Blackstonian view has been dominant, or at least very influential, among historians. Contrary to those narrow claims, this book concludes that the broad understanding of freedoms of press and speech was the dominant context of the First Amendment and of Fox's Libel Act, and that it enjoyed greater historical support.

Book Synopsis Defamation and Public Officials by : Clifton O. Lawhorne
Download or read book Defamation and Public Officials written by Clifton O. Lawhorne and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first comprehensive study of the changes which have occurred in the law of libel over the years fills a long-felt need by journalists and others in the field of communication for a book dealing specifically with press law and public officials. However, though written primarily for the working press and students of journalism, the work will be of interest to general readers concerned with public affairs, and, through its compilation of widely-scattered information, will be useful as a reference tool for lawyers. The story of libel law, from colonial times to the present, is basically the story of courtroom battles between public officials claiming the right to a good name and private citizens claiming the right to know about and discuss public officials. As Mr. Hart points out, history shows that in the United States the law for libeling public officials has been consistently narrowed as the public's right to know about their government and discuss their leaders has broadened. Mr. Lawhorne thus traces the evolution of libel law in this country, explains the reasons for the recent liberalization of the law, and suggests some of the present dangers, in his opinion, stemming from the abuse of the law. Among the precedent-setting cases cited by Mr. Lawhorne are Garrison v. Louisiana, Dodd v. Pearson, and Goldwater v. Ginzberg. Among hisconclusions is a warning to those who disseminate information to confine their comments to the truth by virtue of strict ethical standards, lest the reaction to present liberal libel law lead to highly restrictive law of the future.
