The work which forms the substance of this volume was formerly known in the shape of two separate treatises, of which the former, containing the first thirteen chapters of the first part of the elements of law was entitled Human nature; or, The fundamental elements of policy. The second treatise contained the rest of the first, together with the second, part, and was entitled De copore politico; or, The elements of law, moral and politic. Both these treatises appeared in print for the first time in the year 1650.
