Jurisprudence or the Principles of Political Right (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Jurisprudence or the Principles of Political Right The task I have undertaken in the editing of the Lectures on Jurisprudence of the late Professor Herkless has been one from which I have derived no small degree of pleasure, knowing that I was thereby lending my assistance to placing in permanent form some portion of the results of the labours to which he devoted his life. The task has not by any means been of an onerous nature. I have confined myself to the mere consideration of the arrangement of the Lectures, and have made only those variations from the MSS. which seemed necessary before they could be cast into form for publication. I have adopted this course, since the circumstances that have prompted the issue of the book have rendered it unnecessary for me to express any critical estimate of the subject matter of the Lectures, or the manner with which they have been dealt. I only trust that his innumerable friends and those students to whom they were delivered will welcome the volume, and find in its perusal an additional incentive to the continued study of a most instructive department of science.
