在法国莫里哀的《想作贵族的布尔乔亚》这部剧本里,一位角色惊奇地发觉,完全未曾想到,自己四十五年来就一直在谈论着散文。同样地,英国人正如其他国家一样,在〔比较〕方法变成自我分析的习惯,被人们认识到它本身的重要性并获得一个命名之前,已经在利用着外国法律概念有若干世纪了。因此,本文分为两部分,第一部探讨十九世纪中叶以前这段期间的情况。

In Moliere’s “Bourgeois, aristocrat” in France, one character was surprised to find that he never thought that he had been talking about essays for forty-five years. Similarly, just as in other countries, the British have been exploiting the concept of foreign law for centuries before they became the habit of self-analysis as a method of comparison and were recognized as having its own importance and nomenclature. Therefore, this article is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the period before the middle of the nineteenth century.
