Content Summary:

(Note: The immediate cause of the formation of the Maitland Company was the difficulty of securing publishers in Australia in 1945 at the end of World War II. Associated General Publications initially published The Province and Function of Law, because of the friendship and good will of its principal, Mr Israel Horwitz. Associated General Publications, however, at that time produced mainly racing guides, comic books, etc. and became disenchanted with the comparatively slow sales of this 1000-page legal work, leading to its sale to Maitland Publications Pty.Ltd. shortly after the original publication.)

In due course the Maitland Company has published books of Professor Michael Stone and Associate Professor Jonathan Stone, as well as many of Julius Stone.
