Works
Maurer's most important contribution to history is a series of books on the early institutions of the Germans. These are:
- Einleitung zur Geschichte der Mark-, Hof-, Dorf-, und Stadtverfassung und der offentlichen Gewalt (Munich, 1854)
- Geschichte der Markenverfassung in Deutschland (Erlangen, 1856)
- Geschichte der Fronhöfe, der Bauernhöfe, und der Hofverfassung in Deutschland (Erlangen, 1862–1863)
- Geschichte der Dorfverfassung in Deutschland (Erlangen, 1865–1866)
- Geschichte der Städteverfassung in Deutschland (Erlangen, 1869–1875)
These works are still important authorities for the early history of the Germans. Among other works are:
- Stadt- und Landrechtsbuchs Ruprechts von Freysing, ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Schwabenspiegels (Stuttgart, 1839)
- Über die Freipflige (plegium liberate), und die Entstehung der grossen und kleinen Jury in England (Munich, 1848)
- Uber die deutsche Reichsterritorial- und Rechtsgeschichte (1830)

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute..”
—Edmund Burke (1729–97)
