An exceptionally rare item on the antiquarian book market. Thisis a fundamental, pioneering work of Polish legal thought from the period of the Kingdom of Poland. Jan Kłodziński (1791–1871) systematically expounds the methodology of law here, dividing it into preparatory sciences (philosophy, languages), proper sciences (natural, civil, criminal, and ecclesiastical law), and auxiliary sciences (statistics, fiscal science). This volume is of immense value to collectors of Polish studies and early legal literature.
