 The Common Law was published in 1881 and is a product of his intellectual thought after he served in the Civil War, finished at Harvard, and then had been lecturing at Harvard for a number of years. The main item on display here is his black book. What this is is a compendium of every book he read from 1881 to his death in 1935. And it connects to all these items on the table in that it kind of gets at the intellectual world that Oliver Wunderholmes created when he wrote The Common Law.
