Excerpt from The Law Library, Vol. 38: October, November and December, 1842

Tan proper introduction to a course of legal studies seems to be an inquiry into the principles of moral obligation, and of general juris prudence. A due knowledge of the elements of natural law has by no means been diffused in 'the world in proportion to its important usefulness and dignity. It ap rs, from Barbeyrac's Historical Treatise of the Science of Mora ity, that whatever just opinions were entertained by some few philosophers, the founders of certain sects, their followers at least, even down to the scholastic commentators on Aristotle, for the most part degenerated into intricate and unprofitable refinements, or maintained errors pernicious to society, and unworthy of mankind.
