This small work, in spite of its restricted dimensions, is not a memento.1 I have desired to write a book by which one begins, and not a book by which one finishes. I have dwelt upon fundamental principles and have avoided details which in the most of the brochures designed to be read over by the student the night before examination are furnished in abundance, in the style of a telegram. .. .T his is not said to attack mementos: there are many excellent ones among them, and these render to law school students unquestionable services, conditioned on being consulted at the right time. I have made in this summary work no claim to erudition, but I have applied to it great solicitude for exactness and modernness of doctrine. If I have thought it proper to indicate authorities almost paragraph by paragraph, it is because I had need of preserving myself from any involuntary error. It is also because I have provided for the case where some student should make use of my little book as an index, or as a bibliqgraphy easy to consult. The notes, which, outside of this supposition, may interest students, and should attract their attention, are marked with an asterisk (). I have not tried to embellish my treatise with refer1 That is, a small publication designed to refresh the memory in preparation for an examination in some subject :a sort of short synoptic work or digest.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an accessible guide to the fascinating world of Roman law. It traces the evolution of Roman legal thought from its legendary origins to the codifcation of the Corpus Juris under the Emperor Justinian. The author delves into the intricate social structures of the Roman world, explaining the division between patricians and plebeians and the gradual expansion of rights to the latter. Through a detailed examination of key institutions, such as the Senate, the comitia, and the role of the praetor, the book illuminates the political and legal dynamics of the Roman Republic. The author also explores the development of Roman legal sources, including the law of the Twelve Tables, the edicts of magistrates, and the responsa prudentum, the opinions of legal experts. The book reveals how Roman law was shaped not only by formal legislation but also by the pragmatism of judicial practice and the evolving social realities of its time.
