Oliver Wendell Holmes, “Agency,” in Collected Legal Papers (1920, reprinted 1985), pp. 49–116, is an Anglo-American treatment written from a historical point of view. W. Edward Sell, Agency (1975), discusses the basic principles of the law of agency. Comparisons between Anglo-American and civil law rules are offered in “Law of Agency,” The American Journal of Comparative Law, 6:165–188 (1957); and Konrad Zweigert and Hein Kötz, An Introduction to Comparative Law, 3rd rev. ed.
