 Jurisprudence is not merely the study of law of one nation

Jurisprudence is not merely the study of one nation's laws; rather, it is the theoretical, philosophical, and scientific study of law in general, examining fundamental principles, concepts, and philosophies common to all legal systems. It investigates the nature of law, legal reasoning, and its relationship with society. 

Key aspects of jurisprudence:

General vs. Particular: General jurisprudence analyzes common principles across different legal systems, while particular jurisprudence focuses on the specific legal rules of one country.

Fundamental Principles: It examines abstract concepts like rights, obligation, property, and possession, rather than specific statutes.
Scope: It includes legal philosophy, the, and sociological analysis of how laws work in society.

Function: It is considered the "eye" or "grammar" of law, helping lawyers and judges interpret and understand the foundations of legal systems. 

While some schools of thought, such as Austin's particular jurisprudence, consider it the science of a specific legal system, it is generally regarded as the broader study of legal theory.
