Book Description

Excerpt from Two Lectures Upon the Relations of Civil Law to Church Polity, Discipline, and Property In attempting to exhibit before you some of the organized rules of civil or municipal law, I find myself embarrassed by several considerations. One is found in the fact that abstract legal discussions are proverbially dry and uninteresting to those who have not made the law a subject of considerable investigation. Such persons cannot be expected to discover, at once, how far-reaching a single principle may be, what relation it bears to a system wide enough to embrace all human conduct.
