Scarce. The foundation text for analytical English jurisprudence. The first volume of The Province of Jurisprudence appeared in 1832. b eing ten lectures compressed into six. These were his lectures delivred in the newly founded University of London (later University College), where he had been appointed professor of jurisprudence in 1826. "Interest in his lectures was revived when Sir H enry Maine lectured on jurisprudence and emphasized the value of Austin's examination of the meanings and uses of legal terms. In consequence Austin's widow in 1861 published a new edition of the Province and his Lectures on Jurisprude nce . . ., with a biographical sketch by herself. The Province and the Lectures subsequently exercised enormous influence on jurisprudence in England, though it is now known that Austin had been greatly influenced by Bent ham, with whom he was very friendly. The importance of his work was the strict delimitation of the sphere of law and its distinction from that of morality, elaboration of the idea of law as a kind of command, and the close examination of the connotations of such common legal terms and ideas as right, duty, liberty, injury, punishment, rights in rem and rights in personam . . . [F]rom his day until recently the predominant approach of English jurisprudence has been that of analy sis of legal terms and concpets" [Oxford Companion to Law, p. 96]. Inquire | Order $500.00

Campanella's important treatise on contemporary politics and one of his two important utopian books, the other being the more famous Civitas solis. In the present work Campanella advocates a theocratic monarchy under the aegis of Spain and the Church. "Campanella evinces, among ideas singularly strange and erroneous, consdiderable practical knowledge of civil government. To extend Spanish rule in Europe he advised intermarriage of the Spaniards with other nationalities, urged th e establishment of schools of astronomy, mathematics, mechanics, etc., and the immediate opening of a naval college to develop the resources of the New World and further the interests of its inhabitants. In general he advocated natural honesty and justic e and the universal love of god and man in place of the utilitarian principles and egoism of Machiavelli" [Catholic Encyclopedia article on Campanella].

Very scarce. One of the foundation texts for sociology and an influential text for the philosophy of science. Comte's law of three states "(first formulated in 1822) states that human thought, in its histor ical development, passes successively through three distinct phases: the theological (or fictional) state, the metaphysical (or abstract) state, and the positive (or scientific) state. In the theological state, man exlains the world around him in anthrop omorphic terms, reducing natural processes to the whims of manlike gods and agencies. In the metaphysical state, deities are replaced by powers, potencies, forces, and other imperceptible causal agencies. The positive state repudiates both causal forces and gods and restricts itself to expressing precise, verifiable correlations between observable phenomena. While Comte believes that the theological and metaphysical states are based on a misconception of natural processes, he insists that they were esse ntial preliminaries to the emergence of positive knowledge" [DSB: III: 375].

The last chapter (pages [293]-326) is "An Ad vertisement to the Jury-Men of England Touching Witches," in which Filmer taes issue with the methods of some of the earlier "witch-finders for determining whether a person is a witch. In particular he questions the reasoning of William Perkins, a religi ous zealot whose Discourse on the Damned Art of Witchcraft was considered by many rural magistrates as completely authoritative.

Knighted by Charles I at the beginning of his reign, Filmer strident defended the absolute divine right of kings, founding his theory upon the idea that the government of a family by the father is the true original model for all government. H e articulated his theory in a number of works -- the 1648 Anarchy of a Limited and Mixed Monarchy (an attack on Philip Hunton's treatise on monarchy, which held that the king's prerogative is not superior to the authority of parliament); the pamphlet The Power of Kings; the 1648 King of England (not published until 1680); and his 1652 Observations concerning the Originall of Government upon Mr Hobbes's Leviathan ... In the Free-Holders Grand Inqu est he asserted that the Lords only give counsel to the king, the Commons only perform and consent to the ordinances of parliament, and the king alone is the maker of laws, which proceed purely from his will. The most complete exposition of Filmer 's views is to be found in the 1680 Patriarchia, or the Natural Power of Kings, published decades after his death. Locke singled out Filmer as the most remarkable of the proponents of Divine Right and rebutted his arguments in great detail i n the Two Treatises of Government.
