Summary:

Loeb, Isidor. The Legal Property Relations of Married Parties: A Study in Comparative Legislation. New York: Columbia University Press, 1900. 197 pp. Reprint available September 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-421-5. Cloth. $80. * A title in Columbia's important series Studies in History, Economics and Public Law, this monograph is based on a doctoral thesis in jurisprudence written under the direction of E.R.A. Seligman and Frederick Hicks. Using examples from late-nineteenth century American and European legislation and codes, Loeb examines how industrial capitalism, urbanization and new ideas about the status of women and children during the late nineteenth century affected the field of matrimonial property relations, one of the oldest and most conservative areas of the law. His general observations are followed by detailed sections on changes in the areas of marriage and legal capacity, matrimonial property systems and the succession of married parties.
