Présentation de l'éditeur
ObE AND SCOPE OF THE FOLLOVINQ LECTURES. The talub and importance of the late John Austin swork in the field of jurisprudence have been now so long and so widely recognised that it would be superiiuous to insist upon them in this place. Except by a very few persons, the recognition was late. Had it come earlier, the author might have been encouraged to complete the record of the work upon wliich he entered. As it is, that record breaks off in medio; and fov the preservation and arrangement of what remains, the public are in great measure indebted to the ability and industry of the lady whose name is subscribed to the preface of the first posthumous edition. In that preface Mrs. Austin explained, by a personal narrative of consummate literary skill and absorbing interest, the reasons why the work was broken off and never resumed by its author. An attempt to abridge that narrative would be almost an injury to both the persons here referred to. In order, however, to enable the student to seize the point of view of the original Lectures, the following bare outline of facts seems necessary. Joicr Austin was born in 1790. At a very early age he entered the annv, in which he served for five years. He was called to the bar in 1818 after the usual preparation as a student. In 120 he married the lady above mentioned, to whom he had been iqr several years attached. She belonged to a gifted family, the Taylors of Norwich ;and to the attractions of great personal beauty in early life, added the enduring qualities of a clear aud energetic intellect, high principles of action, and a large heart.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
