Commentaries on the Law of Nations (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 2017 - 424 lappuses Excerpt from Commentaries on the Law of Nations Law is still in some measure the study of the bar, while the Scotch bar has produced no treatises upon the Law of Nations. But the absence of a resident court in Scotland during two centuries, has removed the cognizance of international questions to the English seat of legislature and I think that as far as Scotland proves anything, it is in favour of the above observations, as the love of abstract reasoning is more common among the Scotch than among the English, being, as on the continent, co-existent with the habits of the study of the Roman Law, if it be not the consequence of that study.
