Summary: Presenting a revision of a book which has been not only a standard text for more than three decades, but also a widely recognized classic in its field is, needless to say, somewhat intimidating. I have understood my task as one of enhancing Professor Sabine's great enter prise, of continuing it, of developing it, rather than one of substantially altering its intent or content. Perhaps the greatest source of potential difficulty involved in re opening the work of another writer is the matter of compatibility of intellectual perspective. Professor Sabine observed in his original pref ace of 1937 that his own views were substantially similar to those of David Hume, particularly with respect to Hume's logical critique of the foundations of natural law.
