Description
John Salmond, solicitor general for New Zealand, wrote this textbook on the science of law. The fourth edition came out in London in nineteen thirteen. Salmond had already written a known treatise on the law of torts, and a short summary of it for students.
The book opens by fixing what jurisprudence is: the science of civil law, studied in theory. It then defines law itself and sets law beside fact. Chapters sort the other kinds of law, from natural and moral law to custom and the law of nations. Courts and their work come next, with the aims of punishment set out one by one. Later parts treat the state and legal rights. Law students get a clear map of the whole field.
