- Notes: "The ''Six Books of the Republic'' . . . is, in effect, the first modern attempt to create a complete system of political science . . . Bodin was the first to set out clearly the argument round which most political discussion centered in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, that law is merely the expression of the sovereign will, but that where this reposes in an absolute monarch, it must be mitigated by a customary or natural law"--Printing and the Mind of Man 94 (1576 original edition).
