Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A young American geologist, Tom Morrow, takes a position in England
where he hopes to get a new start in life. On the way there he
meets a strange little man, Rodney Priester, who opens his eyes to
a mysterious past life he could never have imagined. He also
encounters Diane Cox who runs a bookshop in the small town of
Lymington. Tom and Diane are attracted to each other but must
discover the mystery of the betrayal and deaths of an eleventh
century couple and what impact it may have on their own lives
before allowing their love to grow. As the story of the eleventh
century couple develops, so does a clear danger and tie to the
modern lovers. Justice for old crimes has to be resolved and old
debts settled.

"Two Books of the Elements of Universal Jurisprudence" was
Pufendorf's first work, published in 1660. Its appearance
effectively inaugurated the modern natural-law movement in the
German-speaking world. The work also established Pufendorf as a key
figure and laid the foundations for his major works, which were to
sweep across Europe and North America."Elements of Universal
Jurisprudence" established Pufendorf's political theory, which,
when fully developed, became the most significant alternative to
rights-based theories. Pufendorf rejected the concept of natural
rights as liberties and the suggestion that political government is
justified by its protection of such rights, arguing instead for a
principled limit to the state's role in human life. The Liberty
Fund edition is based on the translation by William Abbott
Oldfather prepared for the Classics of International Law series
published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.Samuel
Pufendorf (1632-1694) was one of the most important figures in
early-modern political thought. An exact contemporary of Locke and
Spinoza, he transformed the natural law theories of Grotius and
Hobbes, developed striking ideas of toleration and of the
relationship between church and state, and wrote extensive
political histories and analyses of the constitution of the German
empire.Thomas Behme is a member of the Institute for Philosophy at
the Free University of Berlin.William Abbott Oldfather (1880-1945)
was Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.Knud Haakonssen is Professor of Intellectual
History at the University of Sussex, England.
