John Codman Hurd (November 11, 1816 – June 25, 1892) was an American lawyer and author.
He was admitted to the bar, and was nominally, though at no time actively, engaged in legal practice in New York until after his father's death, in 1872.
He died at the house of his sister in Boston, Mass., where he had lately made his home, on June 25, 1892, after an illness of several weeks, in the 76th year of his age.
He also published in 1881 another l volume on The Theory of our National Existence as shown by the Action of the Government of the United States since 1861.
[1] Since his death his nephew and executor presented to the Yale University Library in Dr. Hurd's name a very valuable collection of upwards of a hundred and twenty-five volumes from his working library, including his annotated editions of his own publications and the most important authorities in this line of study.
