      abstract = {"In the first modern biography of Lord Mansfield  (1705-1793), Norman Poser details the turbulent political  life of eighteenth-century Britain's most powerful judge,  serving as chief justice for an unprecedented thirty-two  years. His legal decisions launched England on the path to  abolishing slavery and the slave trade, modernized  commercial law in ways that helped establish Britain as the  world's leading industrial and trading nation, and his  vigorous opposition to the American colonists stoked  Revolutionary fires." -- Publisher's description.},
