"Liberty Fund presents the first modern edition of The Principles of Natural and Politic Law, based on the posthumous unified edition of 1763. The unidentified quotes and recurrent borrowings that abound in the second volume have for the first time been identified. The editor, Petter Korkman, writes that it is not an overstatement "to declare that a solid acquaintance with the Principle will provide the reader with essential ... background for understanding the moral and political thought of the mature Enlightenment, whether in its European settings or in the newly formed United States.""--Jacket.

This version is a copy of translator Nugent’s 1763 edition, with some minor corrections and added footnotes, along with an excellent introduction by Peter Korkman. Only the first included work (natural Law) was directly published by Burlamaqui. The second (Political Law) was assembled from his notes and those of his students after his death.
The work is important to anyone seeking to understand the view of Government and its role held by America’s founders. It also introduces some ideas and even phrases used by us then and later; for example, ‘Eminent Domain’. While you may not agree with all of his ideas, you may be agreeably surprised by his clarity and thoughts. I strongly recommend this for any serious student of the left, the right, or any other political position. ( )
