Excerpt from The Province of Jurisprudence: DeterminedUnfortunately they came too late. The public, or small portion of it which interests itself in such subj did net discover the deep and clear stream of legal within its reach, till its waters had been channels, or had disappeared altogether. In proportion as the demand for the book became urgent, more years and more occupations were interposed between the state of mind in which it was written, and that in which this demand found him. Above all, the hope, the animation, the ardour with which he had entered upon his career as a teacher of Jurisprudence, had been blighted by indifference and neglect, and, in a temper so little sanguine as his, they could have no second spring.It was not my intention to enter into the particulars of a life of which there is little but disappointment and suffering to relate, and which, from choice as much as from necessity, was passed in the shade. Nothing could be more repugnant to a man of his proud humility and fastidious reserve than the submitting his private life to the inspection of the public, nor would it consist with my reverence for him to ask for the admiration (even if I were sure of obtaining it) of a world with which he, had so little in common.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
