Michael H. Hoeflich and Ross E. Davies discuss their transcription of The Black Book of Justice Holmes
(Talbot Publishing, 2021) on YouTube. As the press’s announcement states, the two “recount the story of its publication and its insights into Holmes’s intellectual development.” Yes, Virginia, Holmes did read Mr. Herbert Spencer’s Social Statics (and just about everything else he wrote, plus Dashiell Hammett and much more).
