Additionally, Burlamaqui's discussion of happiness as a natural right probably inspired Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Blackstone was also one of many jurists influenced by Burlamaqui's work. Reprint of the first English edition, which became a standard work. xlii], 312 pp.
