Excerpt from Historical Jurisprudence: An Introduction to the Systematic Study of the Development of Law
Jurisprudence Should be regarded as more than a mere knowledge of the law. It is a science, which endeavors to ascertain the fundamental principles of which the law is the expression. It rests'upon the laws as established facts but at the same time it is a power in bringing the laws into a coherent system and in rendering all parts thereof subservient to fixed principles of justice.
Although jurisprudence is based upon the laws as given facts, it is essentially a progressive science, inasmuch as the law which it endeavors to comprehend and systematize is progressive and aims with ever-closer approximation to approach the ideals of the race in which it Obta'ms. Juris prudence is So closely interwoven with the development and history of the world as to claim a place among the historical sciences. At the same time it is so closely con nected with - iin fact, springing from -a clearly felt ethical need, that it takes a place closely allied to that of ethical science. The connection which law has always held with morality is hardly less intimate than that which exists between its fundamental principles and those of ethics.

Excerpt from Historical Jurisprudence: An Introduction to the Systematic Study of the Development of Law
The study of Historical Jurisprudence possesses a complex attractiveness. It has a value that is at once theoretical and practical, an interest that arises from the ease of acquiring, as well as from the difficulty of comprehending, its principles.
The student finds in jurisprudence a mental training that calls into fullest activity all the forces which years devoted to the study of the humanities have placed at his disposal. Languages, history, philosophy, - all these combined are insufficient to unlock every barrier to the complete knowledge of this most far-reaching science. Yet the man devoid of college education, - without any education, indeed, beyond that sufficient to enable him to pass the usual bar examination, - finds in Historical Jurisprudence matters not only of deepest interest, but of highest value. The lawyer finds therein the solid foundation upon which rests modern law; the vital force of that law, which to him is too often a thing to be merely memorized; and understanding of those principles which are not seldom by him only dimly discerned in enactment and precedent. The student of the liberal arts finds in jurisprudence the record of national development, the key to the great movements which have made and unmade dynasties, the explanation of that which would without it be so obscure as to defy understanding.
The study of jurisprudence is as profitable for him who has but little time to devote to the pursuit of culture as for him whose whole life is devoted to such pursuit.
