Excerpt from The Influence of the Mosaic Code Upon Subsequent Legislation The following pages can claim but slender pretensions to original research, still less to theological learning: opportunity was wanting for the one; the author's pursuits precluded the other. Materials for the work were chiefly furnished by the investigations of other writers, who, in pursuit of different objects, had already travelled over some portions of the same ground. Since, however, the authority of the Old Testament has been called in question, even by those whose profession bound them to defend it, to trace its influence upon the principles of jurisprudence as a moral science, presented itself as a subject of interest. It was one, at least, that not unnaturally would claim the attention of a person engaged in the practice of the law. Upon this inquiry, therefore, the author employed such leisure as he could spare from his professional pursuits.
