Publisher's Synopsis
Topics of Jurisprudence Connected with Conditions of Freedom and Bondage, written by John Codman Hurd in 1856, is a comprehensive study of the legal concepts and principles that underpin the institution of slavery in the United States. Hurd examines the legal and philosophical foundations of slavery, including the notion of property rights, the nature of contracts, and the limits of individual liberty. He also explores the complex legal and social issues that arise from the existence of slavery, such as the treatment of slaves under the law, the rights of slave owners, and the moral implications of slavery.
