There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And the Supreme Court Justice's signed inscription is the only writing to be found anywhere. Georgetown University Press; 'Greenwood Press, Publishers' is also at the bottom of the copyright page. Hardcover. Written by F. William O'Brien. First Edition (NAP).

His signed inscription is on the blank front end paper (see photo). The inscription reads: 'To David Hanes with appreciation of his assistance as my law clerk in the 1969 term of the Supreme Court, Stanley Reed.' Mr. Hanes also clerked for two years for Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, which marked the beginning of the Burger Court. In 1974 he became assistant to John Doar, then special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee for the Nixon impeachment proceedings. Back in private practice Hanes together with William Colby, former head of the CIA, and Marshall Miller formed the law firm of Colby, Miller and Hanes. His book, The First British Workmen’s Compensation Act of 1897 was published in 1968 by Yale University Press. 'Stanley Reed spent nineteen years on the Supreme Court. Within two years, he was joined on the bench by his mentor, Felix Frankfurter, and his protégé, Robert H. Jackson. Reed and Jackson held very similar views on national security issues and often voted together. While Reed and Frankfurter also held similar views, Frankfurter usually concurred with Reed. Frankfurter offered lengthy, professorial discussions of the law whereas Reed wrote terse opinions keeping to the facts of the case.Reed was considered a moderate and often provided the critical fifth vote in split rulings. He authored more than 300 opinions, and Chief Justice Warren Burger said 'he wrote with clarity and firmness.' Reed was an economic progressive, and generally supported racial desegregation, civil liberties, trade union rights and economic regulation. On free speech, national security and certain social issues, however, Reed was generally a conservative. He often approved of federal (but not state or local) restrictions on civil liberties. Reed also opposed applying the Bill of Rights to the states via the 14th Amendment.'
