Excerpt from The Elements of Jurisprudence The legal systems of the continent owe to their common derivation from the law of Rome, not only a uniform legal nomenclature, but also a generally accepted method, which at once assigns any newly developed principle to its proper place, and has greatly facilitated the orderly exposition of those systems in the form of codes.

Excerpt from Elements of Law: Considered With Reference to Principles of General Jurisprudence I have explained, in a place where it is likely to receive more attention than in a preface, the object of this book, and the use which I intend to be made of it.

Excerpt from Elements of American Jurisprudence Jurisprudence, as the word is used in the title of this book, denotes the science of which law, as such, is the subject-matter; the science which deals, not with the commands and prohibitions whereof the law consists, but with the law itself, its nature, its origin, its history, its divisions, its forms, its interpretation, and the methods of its application to practical affairs. Of law in general, considered as an essential feature of political society and abstracted from all definite systems of law, there is a universal science known as General Jurisprudence; and of every system of law, differing as each does from every other in some of its exterior characteristics, there is a special science, - the Particular Jurisprudence of the State in which that law prevails. Thus American Jurisprudence is a special science, treating of the laws of the United States and of the States of which the American Union is composed. Manifestly some knowledge of this science is important to every educated citizen who aspires to the intelligent discharge of his political duties; a more intimate acquaintance with it is indispensable to the lawyer and the judge who participate in the interpretation and administration of the law; while for the jurist and the legislator the mastery over it must be still broader and more profound. In the present work it has been the purpose of the author to assist the various grades of students in their preparation for these different positions in political life.

Excerpt from Elements of Jurisprudence, Vol. 1: Being Selections From Dumont's Digest of the Works of Bentham; Codification To give a clear conception of the true nature and limits of the science of Jurisprudence, it will be necessary, in the first place, to explain the distino tion between the study of law as an art, and as a science and further, to point out the principle of division by which the boundaries of the social sciences are distinguished.

Excerpt from Elements of Right and of the Law: To Which Is Added a Historical and Critical Essay Upon the Several Theories of Jurisprudence IN submitting this little work upon jurisprudence to the public, the author is conscious that the sub j ect is one not likely to attract at first sight either the professional or the general reader; as the latter will probably regard it as belonging exclusively to the province of the former; while the former will be apt to consider any work on general principles as nu worthy the attention of the practical law yer. It will not be out of place, therefore, to explain at some length the object and scope of the work, with a view of showing that the subject at least is one pre eminently worthy of the attention of all intelligent readers. The subject is expressed in the title of the work, and will be readily understood by reference to the table of contents. The first book treats of the nature of rights, and of their several kinds, and of the princi ples by which they are determined; and the second of the nature and general principles of the law, and of its relation to right; the remaining book consists of a historical and critical review of the several theories of jurisprudence.

Excerpt from Elements of Medical Jurisprudence, Vol. 1 My own task, besides general supervision has been to incorporate into the body of the work the mate rials prepared by Dr. Beck, and to make the changes of which he had indicated the propriety. Some things I have added, some things modified; but I trust that all has been done with due respect to the memory of the dead.
