BIBLIOGRAPHY. Inasmuch as most of the judicial decisions, and the professional works dealing with Habeas Corpus such as Hurd and Church, and George B. Davis's Military Law, do not discuss the evolution of the views of Congress upon the question of habeas corpus suspension, it has seemed proper to cite only those authorities which bear directly upon the narrower subject of this essay.
