Publisher's Synopsis
Topics of Jurisprudence Connected with Conditions of Freedom and Bondage is a book written by John Codman Hurd in 1856. The book explores various legal topics related to freedom and slavery, including the rights of slaves, the laws governing slavery, and the legal implications of emancipation. Hurd argues that the legal system should be based on principles of justice and equality, and that the institution of slavery is fundamentally incompatible with these principles. He also discusses the role of the judiciary in interpreting and enforcing laws related to slavery, and the importance of educating the public about the moral and legal issues surrounding slavery. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the legal debates surrounding it in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
