BASTIAT, See also:FREDERIC (18o1–185o) , See also:French economist, was the son of a See also:merchant of See also:Bayonne, and was See also:born in that See also:town on the 29th of See also:June 18o1. Educated at the colleges of See also:Saint-Sever and of Soreze, he entered in 1818 the counting-See also:house of his See also:uncle at Bayonne. The See also:practical routine of See also:mercantile See also:life being distasteful to him, in 1825 he retired to a See also:property at Mugron, of which he became the owner on the See also:death of his grandfather. jure sanguinis, may succeed by destination, where he is specially called to the See also:succession by See also:entail or testament. In See also:Scotland, as in See also:England, a See also:bastard can have no legal heirs except those of his own See also:body; and hence, failing his lawful issue, the See also:king succeeds to him as last See also:heir. Formerly bastards in Scotland without issue of their own could not make a will, but this See also:disability was removed by a See also:statute of 1835. If bastards or other persons without kindred See also:die intestate without wife or See also:child, their effects go to the king as ultimus haeres; but a See also:grant is usually made of them by letters patent, and the grantee becomes entitled to the See also:administration. According to the See also:common See also:law, which is the law of England, a bastard cannot be divested of his See also:state of See also:illegitimacy, unless by the supreme See also:power of an See also:act of See also:parliament. But in those countries which have followed the See also:Roman or See also:civil law, a bastard's status may be provisional, and he can be made legitimate by the subsequent See also:marriage of his parents.
