The Principles of Natural and Politic Law

• Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui (author)
• Petter Korkman (editor)
• Thomas Nugent (translator)

The basis of this version of The Principles of Natural and Politic Law is Thomas Nugent’s 1763 English translation. The first scholarly work on Burlamaqui was written by an American, M. Ray Forrest Harvey, who in 1937 argued that Burlamaqui was well known among America’s Founding Fathers and that his writings exerted considerable influence on the American constitutional system.
