Adam Smith and Roman Servitudes
No full textThis essay is a preprint of an article that appeared at: Tijdschrift voor Rechstsgeschiedenis, 72 (2004), 327–57.This essay discusses Adam Smith historical jurisprudence and his use of Roman law materials in his Lectures on Jurisprudence. It argues that Smith found it difficult to maintain his theory of legal development in the face of a highly developed body of Roman law literature

No full textAdam Smith and The Law
No full textThe law is one of the main subjects in Adam Smith’s studies. He deals with it in the Lectures of Jurisprudence (LJ) and in the Wealth of the Nations (WN) and his ethical and philosophical premises are exposed in the Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS). This interest in law is consistent with enlightenment culture which aspired to elaborate a great Science of Legislation in order to have enough knowledge to reform society and replace the Ancien Régime institutions with new ones able to support the course of progress and improve the life of the people.
Yet, Smithian thought, while sharing the cultural aim of his age, is divergent from Juridical Enlightenment in many ways. I explain this divergence by going back to the deep epistemological and analytical differences between the Scottish and European Enlightenment, showing how Smith’s approach to the doctrine of natural law is antithetic to the utilitarian and contractualistic approaches typical of other enlightenment schools. Indeed, if Smith develops a theory of law founded on economic thesis, it is very discordant with an efficiency-inspired economic analysis of law, which has its early expression in the works of exponents of Juridical Enlightenment, such as Cesare Beccaria, Gaetano Filangieri, and Jeremy Bentham. In the next section, I describe Smith’s concepts of law and rights in the works of Jurisprudence. The second section is devoted to the role of justice, since its enforcement is considered the legislator’s main duty. In the following section I compare the Smithian theory of law to the ideas of Juridical Enlightenment. The final section argues why Smith’s reflection on law is not to be considered as a precedent of economic analysis of law. A short conclusion closes this chapter
Long term treatment with clonidine during the development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
No full textChronic administration of clonidine in the drinking water of spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats from 11 through 17 weeks of age prevented the further development of hypertension in this model. A dosage adjustment (from about 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg) was required to maintain a stable systolic pressure of about 200 mmHg. After six weeks of treatment clonidine was withheld for 48 hrs during which time blood pressure increased to a level similar to that of untreated controls
