Excerpt: ... THE LITERATURE OP JURISPRUDENCE. The following list is intended to serve partly by way of explanation of App. V. the references contained in the text and notes, and partly as a guide to the literature of the subject. Nothing, however, is here attempted save a selection of the more important works which bear with more or less directness upon the abstract theory of the law.
