This manuscript provides an opportunity to audit a seminar on the philosophy of law (Rechtsphilosophie), taught by William van der Vlught, an important scholar and international lawyer, at the University of Leiden. As was customary at the time, the first version of this manuscript was a "verbatim" transcription of the teacher's lectures. After that, it was neatly copied and lightly edited, resulting in the present manuscript. It is also possible that it was produced by a professional copyist from the notes of one or more students for later sale. In either case it was considered important enough to be put into a permanent binding with a gilt-stamped spine title.
