The American Law of Real Property (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The American Law of Real Property In presen...)
Excerpt from The American Law of Real Property In presenting to the profession a new work on the Amer ican Law of Real Property, the author does not deem an apology necessary, although it may be appropriate to state briefly his object and. The scope of the work. The experi ence of the author, both as a student and as an instructor in this branch of the law, has led him to believe that students of the law generally look upon the law of Real Property as extremely technical, arbitrary and unreasonable. Believ ing that all law is founded upon reason, and is developed by forces, which are not produced or even controlled by the arbitrary will of the legislator, and feeling confident that a logical or historical reason could be found for every principle of the law of Real Property, the author has made that subject the object of his special study, and this volume is given to the profession as the result of his investigations, with the hope that it might aid in stripping this branch of the law of its harsh and uninviting dress. In one sense, this book cannot be considered exhaustive, for volumes can be written on the subject without exhaust ing it. But it is thought that, in another sense, the book may be considered as reasonably exhaustive, in that it con tains the enunciation of all those principles which are neces sary to a broad and comprehensive knowledge of the subject. Instead of filling these pages with numerous citations of the facts of particular cases, and leaving to the student the discovery of the general principles, which underlie the cases.

Christopher Gustavus Tiedeman
Edit ProfileEducation
His childhood and youth were spent in the city of his birth, where he completed his secondary and college education, graduating from the College of Charleston with the degrees of A. B. and A. M. in 1876. The following spring he went to Germany where he attended successively courses at the Universities of Göttingen and Leipzig, coming under the influence of Rudolf von Ihering, Wilhelm Roscher, and Emil Albert Friedberg.
On his return to the United States, in the autumn of 1878, he matriculated at the Columbia Law School, being graduated LL. B. the following spring.
Career
After a short period of practice, first in Charleston, then in St. Louis, he accepted in 1881 an assistant professorship of law in the University of Missouri; he was made full professor in 1882 and retained that position until 1891.
He became a professor at the law school of the University of the City of New York in 1891, remaining with this school until June 1897, when he resigned to pursue his literary activities. When he had completed the text he was then writing, he accepted the position of dean of the Law School of the University of Buffalo, in which capacity he served from May 1902 until his death in 1903.
Successful as Tiedeman was as a teacher, he was probably better known for his writings on legal subjects. Publishing his first text in the early years of his incumbency at the University of Missouri, he continued his literary labors unremittingly, either in revising editions or in preparing new treatises and texts. These were: An Elementary Treatise on the American Law of Real Property (1884; 4th ed. 1924); A Treatise on the Limitations of Police Power in the United States, Considered from both a Civil and Criminal Standpoint (1886); A Treatise on the Law of Commercial Paper (1889); The Unwritten Constitution of the United States (1890); A Treatise on the Law of Sales of Personal Property (1891); A Treatise on Equity Jurisprudence (1893); A Treatise on the Law of Municipal Corporations in the United States (1894); and A Treatise on State and Federal Control of Persons and Property in the United States (1900), a second edition of his earlier work on the limitations of the police power. He also edited Selected Cases on Real Property (1897) and prepared a student's textbook under the title, A Treatise on the Law of Bills and Notes (1898).
In addition he was a frequent contributor to the legal periodicals of the day. In all his writings Tiedeman displayed a clarity and accuracy that made his works very popular. By 1897 texts of his were used in thirty-six law schools.
He died on August 25, 1903.
