Bereik en inhoud

[Draft] MS letter. Refers to Lawrence's criticism of Austin, and puts forward his understanding of the difference between the two as to the genus of which Positive Law is a species as depending on the difference between the conceptions of 'order' and 'uniformity'. Clarifies the meaning of his statement that positive law in any actual state is not completely orderly. With regard to Grotius' attitude to the 'Roman Jus Gentium', Sidgwick fears that he has not made his meaning clear, and tries to put the point to Lawrence in a different way. Discusses the two possible interpretations that Grotius could have had of the above term, and suggests that its misinterpretation could have been the fault of writers subsequent to him. Observes that Lawrence seems to have missed the point of Sidgwick's question regarding Roman lawyers and the regulation of international relations. Refers to passages quoted 'in the Digest '. Claims that in order to convict Grotius of a mistake on this point, one must 'prove that the Roman jurists would not have used the term "jus gentium" as [Lioy] uses it, if they had had occasion to refer to the same matters.'
