JOHN AUSTIN was born in Creeting Mill, Suffolk, England, on March 3, 1790. Austin began studying law after serving in the army for five years, and he practiced at the chancery bar from 1818 until 1825. In 1820, he married Sarah Taylor (1793-1867), a German and French historian who translated and edited works such as Leopold von Ranke's History of the Popes (1840) and History of the Reformation in Germany (1845), as well as François Guizot's English Revolution (1850). Austin and his wife were both staunch utilitarians, close friends of social theorists Jeremy Bentham, James Mill, and his son John Stuart Mill, and passionate advocates for legal reform. Austin was the first professor of jurisprudence at University College, London, when it was formed in 1826.

He studied Roman law and the work of German experts on current civil law for the next two years in Germany. Many famous figures attended Austin's initial lectures in 1828, but he struggled to attract pupils and eventually quit his chair in 1832. He gave up teaching law in 1834 after delivering a shorter but equally unsuccessful version of his lectures. In 1833, he was assigned to the Criminal Law Commission, but after receiving little support for his views, he resigned in dissatisfaction after signing the commission's first two reports.

In 1836, he was appointed as a commissioner for Malta's affairs. The Austins thereafter lived in France, primarily in Paris, until 1848, when they returned to England and settled in Surrey, where John Austin died in December 1859. The Province of Jurisprudence Decided, published in 1832, is Austin's best-known publication, a rendition of portion of his lectures. It revolutionized English thinking on the subject by defining the area of ethics and law, and it was appreciated by American jurists such as J.C.
