Excerpt from Lectures on Jurisprudence: The Philosophy of Positive Law His career as a professor opened brilliantly, and his first class included many who afterwards became most eminent in law, politics, or philosophy. But it soon became apparent that the inducements to the scientific study of jurisprudence in this country would not afford a succession of students to maintain an unendowed chair, and he found himself under the necessity of resigning. In June 1832 he delivered his last Lecture. In that year he published the volume entitled The Province of Jurisprudence De termined, ' in the form of six Lectures, accompanied by an Outline of the entire Course of Lectures contemplated by him. This Outline is in itself a well-considered summary of the topics embraced by the field of law, arranged on a philosophical system. Subsequently (in 1834) an attempt was made by the Society of the Inner Temple to institute a course of instruction in scientific juris prudence: and Mr. Austin was engaged to deliver a course of lectures. But from causes similar to those already mentioned, and which doubtless applied with still greater force to a scheme in augurated by a close society, the attempt proved a failure.
