Law students in 1799 London heard a young Scot map an entire science before their eyes. Sir James Mackintosh's discourse introduces the law of nature and nations: what philosophy says about justice between individuals and between states, and how the subject should be studied. A famous prospectus for international law in its infancy. Attend the opening lecture.
