Harvard Law Review.

The Law Review for December opens with an interesting article on "The Right to Privacy," written by Messrs. Samuel D. Warren and Louis D. Brandeis, jointly, The authors trace the gradual recognition of a legal right to privacy distinct from the right to property, and rapidly becoming of great importance in the age of newspaper intrusion and instantaneous photography. They point out that a right to privacy is recognized by statute in France, and ought to be in America, so that a sure remedy could be secured in case of the violation of a man's privacy beyond the limit to which public duties or aspirations may give the people a right to learn his past record. "The Police Power and Interstate Commerce" is ably discussed by Mr. William R. Howland. The number is brought to close by the usual notes on recent cases, lecture notes, summaries of the principles contained in some of the important Recent Cases and Reviews.
