CHOICE Review

Surrency (University of Georgia Law School Library) has performed one of those valuable but usually unsung services: collecting facts that students and scholars need and organizing them into a single, readable volume. Almost exclusively descriptive, the work is divided into 28 chapters in which the origins, development, and current practices of the federal judiciary are synthesized. Although lacking in critical analysis, the book is an excellent source of historical and current materials, including among others the development of criminal, civil, admiralty, and equity jurisdiction in the federal courts, Supreme Court procedures past and present, and the functions of federal magistrates and court officials. Some subheadings suggest considerably more than the text provides-e.g., a section titled ``Contributions of Federal Judges to Literature'' takes up less than two pages and mentions only the contributions of Justice Joseph Story and a few obscure lower federal court judges with not so much as an allusion to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Felix Frankfurter, Harlan Stone, or Learned Hand. Better perhaps that such spare treatment of a potentially interesting subject be left out entirely. Not a book to be read at a single sitting, this is a competent, clearly written volume containing vital information; it belongs in university libraries.-R.J. Steamer, University of Massachusetts at Boston
