Excerpt from Lectures on the Philosophy of Law: Designed Mainly as an Introduction to the Study of International Law
As practical arts invariably precede science, law first appears as Positive Law This does not necessarily involve the existence of a legislative body or a king, or even a judicial tribunal, for we find rudimentary traces of law before these exist in any form. But when law has become separated from other social phenomena, and where, as in active communities, there is much intercourse between individuals, its growth is rapid and its bulk often overwhelming. This was one of the causes of codification in the time of Justinian, and this is also the cause of the agitation for codification in our own day. The objects of a code in such circumstances are practical. They are, first, the instruction of the student of law, and, secondly, the necessities of the practising lawyer or judge. Setting aside compilations in the form of dictionaries, we have various codes, digests, and treatises, arranged on some definite principle. Thus, treatises on the law of property.

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 Naturæ from the Jus Gentium.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise text on the philosophy of law, written as an introduction to the study of international law. It can also be used as an introduction to the broader study of the philosophy of law. The author discusses the historical development of the main concepts of jurisprudence, such as law, rights, obligation, and justice. He also explores the relationship between law and morality and discusses the various theories that have been proposed to explain the nature of law. The author's approach is both historical and analytical, and he draws on a wide range of sources, from ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary legal theory. The book will be of interest to students of law, philosophy, and political science, as well as to anyone who is interested in the foundations of our legal system.
