Book Review:
Roger K. Newman, Reviewing Daniel J. Meador’s Mr. Justice Black and His Books, 53 TEXAS L. REV. 406 (1975).
 

Abstract:
According to the author, Meador’s Mr. Justice Black and His Books is one of two indispensable books on the late Supreme Court Justice. This book includes a thirty-three page essay by Mr. Meader, a former clerk for Justice Black, and a catalogue of the books in Justice’s Black’s library at the time of his death. Among the books essential to Black’s library were Edith Hamilton’s The Greek Way (along with any number of other books on ancient Greece and Rome), Joseph Frank’s The Leveller’s, and any book on the topic of Thomas Jefferson (whom, according to Meader, Black quoted more than any other individual). The reviewer concludes that this intellectual biography will be cherished by Blackphiles, Supreme Court buffs, and book lovers alike.
