As Walker has pointed out, "[this book] was long a standard work and contributed to the continued vitality of the Austinian Analytical Jurisprudence in England though he substituted enforcement by a determinate authority for Austin's command of the sovereign as the criterion of a law." Albert Kocourek characterized this work as "the most successful of all jurisprudence books." Holland [1835-1926] taught philosophy at Oxford before he was called to the Bar in 1863. After several years in practice he was appointed Vinerian Reader in English Law and Chichele Professor of International Law and Diplomacy in 1874. An industrious scholar, he published several important treatises and was a founder of the Law Quarterly Review. Walker, Oxford Companion to Law 576.

This was Pufendorf's first work, published in 1660. Its appearance effectively inaugurated the modern natural-law movement in the German-speaking world. The work also established Pufendorf as a key figure and laid the foundations for his major works, which were to sweep across Europe and North America. Pufendorf rejected the concept of natural rights as liberties and the suggestion that political government is justified by its protection of such rights, arguing instead for a principled limit to the state's role in human life.

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.

Reprint of the first edition. This classic work by the important Austrian jurist is the fullest exposition of his enormously influential pure theory of law, which includes a theory of the state. It also has an extensive appendix that discusses the pure theory in comparison with the law of nature, positivism, historical natural law, metaphysical dualism and scientific-critical philosophy. "The scope of the work is truly universal. It never loses itself in vague generalities or in unconnected fragments of thought. On the contrary, precision in the formulation of details and rigorous system are characteristic features of the exposition: only a mind fully concentrated upon that logical structure can possibly follow Kelsen's penetrating analysis. Such a mind will not shrink from the effort necessary for acquainting itself with...the pure theory of law in its more general aspects, and will then pass over to the theory of the state which ends up with a carefully worked out theory of international law." Julius Kraft, American Journal of International Law 40 (1946):496.

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. I have now only to add a word or two as to its form, and its arrangement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
