more than to Americans. But it cannot claim to contain anything of philosophic interest or novelty, unless it be that the preëxistence of the soul should be maintained from so 'orthodox' a standpoint, and falls to pieces physically with the slightest handling and logically with the least criticism.

In this first volume of Bergbohm's Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law there are four prefatory essays: on contemporary Philosophy of Law; on defects in the terminology of the subject; on defects in the fundamental juristic notions; and on the lack of a systematic coördination of fundamental notions in Jurisprudence. The main part of the work contains chapters on the notion of natural law in history, an account of its development and present status, especially in Germany, a criticism of natural law and an emended form of the historical theory of law, with particular reference to the theory of Savigny-Puchtasche. A review of the volume will follow.
