About the book:

"Appealing to the false notion that all ideas are of equal value, the spirit of the times demands that Americans ignore the profound distinctions between the world's two dominant traditions of law and government: common law and civil law. American submission to this undiscerning spirit will concentrate government power, impede liberty, chill creativity, and prevent productivity. Each American who insists that our courts and government function only upon the foundations of our common law tradition, contributes to the progress of freedom."
~Brent Allan Winters

"If we search out the origins of Roman [civil] law, we must study Babylon."
~Sir Frederick Pollock & Frederick William Maitland

"The whole structure of our present jurisprudence stands upon the original foundations of the common law . . . and by the goodness of God, we are now enjoying under its bold and many principles, the blessings of a free, independent, and united government."
~Justice Joseph Story, United States Supreme Court
