Strana 449 - I should in another discourse endeavour to give an account of the general principles of law and government, and of the different revolutions which they had undergone in the different ages and periods of society ; not only in what concerns justice, but in what concerns police, revenue, and arms, and whatever else is the object of law.
Strana 449 - What remains, the theory of jurisprudence, which I have long projected, I have hitherto been hindered from executing, by the same occupations which had till now prevented me from revising the present work.
