TONY A. FREYER was the University Research Professor of History and Law at the University of Alabama. He is the author of six books, including Hugo L. Black and the Dilemma of American Liberalism; The Response to Big Business: Antitrust in Great Britain and America, 1880-1990; and Producers Versus Capitalists: Constitutional Conflict in Antebellum America; and coauthor of Democracy and Judicial Independence: Federal Courts in Alabama, 1890-1994.

It is in this collection of Johnson’s writings, in Freyer’s lucid and adept introduction to each chapter, as well as in his extensive conclusion to the book, that the matter of Johnson’s conservatism is best explained and demonstrated. . . . This slim volume, with Freyer’s brief biographical sketch of Johnson at the beginning, would serve as a good overview and explanation of the judge’s life and legacy for both undergraduate and graduate students.
