'The most astonishing of the recently published anthologies [of law and economics] is a two-volume work by Warren Samuels ... since few libraries today can give their students access to such a large number of journals as used by the editor and to the old stacks in particular, one is compelled to feel grateful to Professor Samuels for having put this collection together.'
