This publication is a parallel edition of the English and Latin
versions of a book designed by Hutcheson for use in the classroom.
General Editor Knud Haakonssen remarks that "Hutchesons Institutio
was written as a textbook for university students and it therefore
covers a curriculum which has an institutional background in his
own university, Glasgow. This was a curriculum crucially influenced
by Hutchesons predecessor Gershom Carmichael, and at its center was
modern natural jurisprudence as systematised by Grotius, Pufendorf,
and others ...The Institutio is the first major [published] attempt
by Hutcheson to deal with natural law on his own terms ...It
therefore encapsulates the axis of natural law and Scottish
Enlightenment ideas, which so many other thinkers, including Adam
Smith, worked with in their different ways. It is of great
significance that this work issued from the class in which Smith
sat as a student."
