A Systematic View Of The Science Of Jurisprudence (1872)

A Systematic View of the Science of Jurisprudence, written by Sheldon Amos in 1872, is a comprehensive examination of the principles and concepts underlying the study of law. The book offers a systematic approach to the science of jurisprudence, exploring topics such as the nature of law, the sources of law, the relationship between law and morality, and the role of judges in interpreting and applying the law.Amos begins by defining the concept of law, examining its various forms and functions, and discussing the ways in which it is created and enforced. He then explores the sources of law, including legislation, judicial decisions, and customary law. He also considers the role of morality in the law, arguing that while the two are closely related, they are distinct concepts that must be understood separately.Throughout the book, Amos emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical and social context in which the law operates, and he explores the ways in which legal systems have evolved over time. He also considers the role of judges in shaping the law, arguing that their decisions are influenced by a range of factors, including their own personal beliefs and values.Overall, A Systematic View of the Science of Jurisprudence is a detailed and insightful examination of the fundamental principles of law and legal systems. It offers a valuable resource for students and scholars of law, as well as for anyone interested in understanding the complex and multifaceted nature of the legal system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
