Great historical web site

There’s a terrific web site for those of us who like the theory and history of contract law:  Hein Online’s great Legal Classics site.

It has about 100 “classic” legal works, including some by Blackstone, Langdell (left), Maine, Pufendorf, Kent, Story, Holmes, Pollock, Maitland, Hohfeld, Hale, Grotius, Ames, Berle & Means, Austin, Thayer, Bentham, Pound, Warren, Kant, and a bunch more.  They’re in facsimile, but you can search them.   [UPDATE:  We originally noted that the site was free, but it is not.  It’s available to Hein Online subscribers, which includes most law school libraries and faculty.]

One goody is C.C. Langdell’s Selection of Cases on the Law of Contracts (1871).
