Book condition : very good. - Carl Georg Christoph Beseler (1809-1888) was a Prussian jurist and politician. Beseler studied law at Kiel and Munich. He was forbidden to teach law in Kiel in 1833 due to his political activity, but he lectured at Göttingen, and Heidelberg. In 1835, he became a professor in Basel, 1837 in Rostock, 1842 in Greifswald and 1859 in Berlin. A liberal nationalist, Beseler was a member of the Frankfurt Parliament where he participated in writing the failed 1849 German constitution. From 1849 to 1852 and from 1857 to 1887 he was a member of the Prussian House of Lords, 1850 of the Erfurt Union Parliament and 1874 to 1877 of the Reichstag. As a notable Germanist opponent of the Romanists, led by Friedrich Carl von Savigny, Beseler advocated a people's law based on Germanic principles as opposed to the Romanists' jurists' law. The notions of cooperative law and social law later enunciated by Gierke originate with Beseler. He was also involved in liberalising the codes of civil and criminal procedure, and in crafting the 1851 Prussian criminal code. ISBN 9783428052097.
