Synopsis

This is a useful introduction to Roman law with a level of detail that falls midway between an outline and a textbook. Carefully organized, it is also an excellent reference guide, and includes marriage and family law, slavery, adoption, successions, ownership. "To begin with, it is quite comprehensive, for there is not a single principle of Roman law, sufficiently important to be included in first-year study, which the author has omitted.... [L]egal principles and definitions are very concisely stated, and a lecturer on the subject will be glad to find an important rule given in such brief, almost epigrammatic form, that it can be readily committed to memory. (...) Another good feature is the practice of frequently citing the original Latin phrases and sentences.... Lastly, the translator has provided a good index, which is a valuable addition to the original work. We are sure that many teachers of Roman law will welcome this book as a manual to be placed in the hands of their students." Columbia Law Review 7 (1907) 377-378. ABRIDGED CONTENTS BOOK I.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

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.
