A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The revival in the United States of the study of the Civil Law has already assumed ample proportions which are yearly increasing, and its full fruition with many far-reaching consequences is but a question of time. The greatest contribution of this revival to American law will be a powerful influence operating for the betterment of the private law of the United States, purging it of its present dross of redundancy, prolixity, inconsistency, and lack of uniformity, and crystallizing it into the compact form of a codification. The following work is dedicated to the continuing success of this movement so fraught with benefit to the progress of American jurisprudence. It is designed to meet the requirements, both similar and dissimilar, of various classes of readers: the general reader, the non-professional student, the law student, and the law teacher. For the law and administration of Rome are to-day a living force constantly employed by the jurist, the publicist, the historian, and the theologian, as well as by others for constructing their theories or demolishing those of their opponents. The first volume of my work is a historical introduction to the development of modern law, beginning with the genesis of Roman law as a local city law, describing its evolution into a body of legal principles fit to regulate the world, portraying its establishment as a world law, and ending with an account of the universal descent or reception of the Civil Law into modern law. The second volume contains the principles of the Civil Law, more especially private law, arranged systematically in the order of a code, and illustrated, as to their survival, from A nglo-A merican law and the Modern Codes as copiously as space will permit. For almost all the Roman law of Justinian sera is still living to-day in the modern world.

About the Publisher

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
