Note 35 — XI THE LAW OF NATURE

Since this Essay was in type I have seen the article On the History of the Law of Nature, by Sir F. Pollock, published in the Journal of the Society of Comparative Legislation for Dec. 1900, and simultaneously in the Columbia Law Review, Jan. 1901; and am happy to find myself in substantial agreement with him upon all points of importance connected with the subject. Some branches of it, especially the Greek and mediaeval parts of the history of the idea, are treated of more fully by him, and the whole article is full of interest. Judicious remarks and useful quotations will also be found in Prof. D. G. Ritchie’s Natural Rights (published in 1895), Part i; and in Dr. Holland’s Elements of Jurisprudence, pp. 30-38 of ninth edition.
