Lex Anteinternet: January 21, 1921. The Combined Fleet.

January 21, 1921. The Combined Fleet.

The fleet was on combined maneuvers, which gave rise to an opportunity to take this panoramic photograph of it near the Panama Canal.

On this day the legendary Chaplin film, The Kid (which I've never seen) was released.

The Italian Communist Party was formed when it split off from the Italian Socialist Party. In doing so, it was following the common evolution of left wing extremism. The same development had already occurred in Germany and Russia. As with other areas in Europe, the development was coincident with the rise of the extreme right as well.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
