Arrangement of This Chapter
194. The present subject seems capable of being conveniently distributed into three principal parts.
In the first part we shall discuss conjointly the object of the right of private property and its causes: both the remote cause, by which the regime of private property itself is introduced, and the proximate cause (by the original fact), by which an ownerless thing enters into the dominion of someone.
The second part will concern the law by which inheritances and testaments are first sanctioned.
To the third we shall assign the boundaries and limits by which that right is circumscribed, from which we shall obtain at once a complete and Christian account of it.
Finally, in connection with the chapter itself, we shall treat a small question much disputed today, concerning the dominion of authors and inventors.
