Excerpt from Lectures on the Philosophy of Law: Designed Mainly as an Introduction to the Study of International Law
To those who are acquainted with the state of Scientific Jurisprudence in this country a new book on that subject from the metaphysical point of view needs no apology; but it is desirable to explain the aim and scope of the following attempt to deal with the subject.
This volume is practically an expansion of an essay on "Evolution in Law," which I read to the Glasgow Legal and Speculative Society about seven years ago; and it forms the course of lectures on Jurisprudence, which, with some alterations, I have delivered during the last six sessions as introductory to the course of Public Law in this University.
By the ordinance of the University Commissioners this course extends to forty lectures, and it might have been consistent with the letter of the ordinance to deliver lectures only on the doctrines of Public, and perhaps also of Private International Law. But it would have been a bold innovation, of which I did not feel inclined to accept the responsibility, in the university of Francis Hutcheson and Adam Smith, to separate the Jus Natur? from the Jus Gentium.
