Overview

Excerpt from A Critical History of Modern English Jurisprudence: A Study in Logic, Politics, and Morality A limited edition of this little work has been printed, with a view of submitting it to friends of the author, and others, who, he may have reason to suppose, are inter ested in political science. But in submitting it even to this limited class of readers, the author is painfully con scious, from experience, that both the subject of the work, and the method in which it is treated stand in need of apology. In regard to the subject, - which is Jurisprudence, its study in England and this country, within the last fifty years, has fallen into almost entire neglect; and there is now no subject more generally unpopular. The general reader regards it as belonging peculiarly to the province of the lawyer, and the lawyer, in general, as a study of no practical utility, and, with which, consequently, he has no concern. And the few who are addicted to philoso phy, turning to the works of the modern English jurists, find there something which bears no resemblance to real Jurisprudence, but which has usurped its place, and even its name.
