Sinopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Jurisprudence: Being a Translation of the General Part of Thibaut's System Des Pandekten Rechts; With Notes and Illustrations

To an English barrister knowledge of this kind is, no doubt, rather indirectly than directly useful, although its direct use is probably greater than is ordinarily supposed. Indirectly, the greatest advantage to be derived from a study of the Roman law, and of the works of continental jurists, appears to the writer to be the acquisition of a habit of classification, and consequently of duly appreciating points of resemblance and of difference. The great skill with which many of the writers on Roman law have combined and systematised the immethodically arranged contents of the Corpus J uris Civilis contrasts in a striking manner with the defective arrangement observable in the works first placed in the hands of an English student. This observation is not intended to imply that there is no well-arranged English law book, but only that there is no work in which due attention is paid to the distinction between the general and the particular, and in which the great principles of our jurisprudence are so brought together that the more simple precede the more complex, and the most nearly related stand closer to each other than to the more distantly allied. This is the more to be regretted, as from the great subdivision of labour characteristic of our own system, a student is only too likely to be bewildered by the acquisition of particular facts which he is wholly unable to systematise.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Jurisprudence: Being a Translation of the General Part of Thibaut's System Des Pandekten Rechts; With Notes and Illustrations

The present work is not of a speculative character, nor does it in any way discuss the principles upon which laws should be founded. Its sole object is to lay before the student the most general of those principles upon which the laws of all countries in fact more or less depend.

The importance to students of English law of some acquaintance with the principles of Roman jurisprudence is no longer insisted upon by a few, but is recognised by the majority of the leading men of the day. The appearance, therefore, for the first time, of an English translation of the best summary of the elementary principles of Roman law which has ever appeared scarcely requires apology. Nevertheless, an explanation of the more immediate objects which the translator has had in view seems requisite, as well to prevent disappointment on the part of the reader, as to justify the translator in the course he has adopted.

Whoever reflects for a moment upon the present condition of English law, and upon the enormous quantity of the materials from which alone a useful knowledge of its actual state is obtainable, cannot fail to see that no person who has to master them will have time at his command seriously to study the details of the Roman, or any other system of jurisprudence.
