Institutes of Natural Law
From Wythepedia: The George Wythe Encyclopedia
by Thomas Rutherforth
This is the first edition of Rutherford's sole legal work, drawing heavily on Grotius, and prompting Holdsworth's observation that is was "the only book written by an Englishman which can be compared with Burlamaqui's [Principles of Natural and Political Law]." [1]
