It results from this equality, that no one can rightfully impose a rule on another. Each legislates for itself, but its legislation can operate on itself alone.
Page 40 - NATIONAL or Municipal law is commonly divided into two general classifications, Substantive Law, and Adjective or Remedial Law. Substantive Law prescribes and defines the normal relations of social and political life, that is, legal rights, obligations, and privileges, as distinguished from violations of the normal, legal order.

Page 145 - In Wood-Engraving, the design is drawn directly upon the block, and all the wood is cut away except the design, which remains in relief.
