His discussion attained immediate fame and his views and suggestions practically dominated American Constitutional Law… . Like Blackstone, Pomeroy and many other legal works, the influence of Constitutional Limitations rests partly upon literary qualities, upon clarity and grace of unaffected statement. –James G. Rogers, American Bar Leaders 70. The most influential work ever published on American Constitutional law. –Edward S. Corwin, Constitutional Revolution 87. Thomas McIntyre Cooley [1824-1898] was a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and was appointed by President Grover Cleveland to serve on the Interstate Commerce Commission. He was a visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University and dean of the University of Michigan Law School. First issued in 1870, his edition of Blackstone, popularly known as Cooley’s Blackstone, was the standard American edition of the late nineteenth century.
