Two Introductory Lectures on the Science of International Law
THE Science of International Law, like the science of Political Economy, is a fabric of comparatively modern structure. Much, which bears upon the subject, is probably to be discovered in the writings of the scholastic jurists of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries; but the true era from which we must date the foundation of the great science, which is conversant with questions of right that concern the fellowship of nations, is the latter portion of the fifteenth century, one of the most remarkable epochs in the annals of legal science. This period has been appropriately termed by the Jesuit Andrés "the Golden Age of Jurisprudence;" and it is distinguished not merely by the completion, under the masterly hand of Cujacius, of the important work, which Alciatus of Milan had commenced in the preceding generation, of emancipating the Roman law from the verbal subtleties of the scholastic philosophy and the conflicting glosses of the earlier commentators, but also by the first systematic enunciation of rules, to which the intercourse of independent nations should be amenable. No writer had hitherto treated expressly of that branch of jurisprudence, which was formally expounded in the following century under the novel head of the Law of Nations and of Nature.
