Synopsis
Reprint of the first Anglo-American edition (orig. Melbourne, 1878). An important contribution to the early literature of comparative jurisprudence, Hearn's work stands alongside that of Henry Sumner Maine and other nineteenth-century comparativists in its effort to reconstruct the legal institutions of Indo-European societies through historical analysis. Taking the household as the primary juridical unit, Hearn traces the development of property, custom, and civil jurisdiction, emphasizing the transition from kin-based organization to more complex legal forms. Recommended by Roscoe Pound for "the legal institutions of Indo-European peoples" (Outlines of Lectures on Jurisprudence, 229); see also Julius J. Marke, Catalogue of the Law Collection of New York University (1953), 108.

Print on DemandSeller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Reprint of the final issue of this book (1891). Originally published in 1878, this foundational work of comparative jurisprudence explores the social and legal evolution of ancient Indo-European societies, then commonly termed "Aryan," treating the household-rather than the individual-as the fundamental building block of ancient civilization. Hearn traces how primitive kinship, domestic authority, and archaic religious practices like ancestor worship eventually transformed into complex political and legal systems. Positioned alongside the works of Henry Sumner Maine, it is cited as a foundational text for understanding the transition from kin-based organization to modern civil law. A lawyer with a background in classics, a subject he taught as a college professor, William Edward Hearn [1826-1888] was a distinguished Irish-Australian academic, economist, and politician who played a leading role in the intellectual life of 19th-century Australia. As one of the four original professors at the University of Melbourne, he became a pioneering figure in legal, political and economic scholarship and served as the first dean of the university's law school.viii, 494 pp. This item is printed on demand.
