Excerpt from The Natural History of Law: Inaugural Lecture

It is provisionally submitted that the history of human law confirms this position and reveals, whether in inchoate customs governing the relationship of man and womanand man and man and the relationship of an individual to a group in the most unsophisticated tribes, or in the most advanced systems of law, principles that are as apparently invariable as the Newtonian laws of motion or the Mendelian laws of life. It is the business of schools of jurists to collate the masses of historical and juridical material available in order if possible to formulate these invariable principles with accuracy and precision, and it is perhaps not entirely rash to attempt to indicate in provisional fashion the broad lines of those principles. It would seem that the following propositions indicate lines on which research might work.
