Excerpt from A Manual of the Principles of Roman Law Relating to Persons, Property, and Obligations: With a Historical Introduction

This work has been prompted as the result of the experience obtained by the author during a number of years in lecturing to Egyptian students. The Egyptian Native Codes being based, in very large measure, upon the French Codes, a knowledge of the principles of Roman Law is essential to the student of law in Egypt, who, however, suffers from the disadvantage that he has no knowledge of the Latin language. While it is, therefore, impossible to expound the subject to him either directly or by way of commentary upon the Latin texts, it is, at the same time, necessary to present to the student, in language that will be readily understood, a statement of the main principles of the Roman Law in such a manner as will both compensate for his lack of a classical education and do fair justice to the subject. With this object in view, the subject is here expounded by a method of divisions and sub-divisions, each of which is, as far as possible, self-contained; on which account, indeed, there may appear to be, at times, somewhat of redundancy. For the sake of greater simplicity and clearness moreover.

Excerpt from A Manual of the Principles of Roman Law Relating to Persons, Property, and Obligations: With a Historical Introduction

There are already in existence so many works upon Roman Law of the highest erudition and authority that it seems necessary to offer some explanation of the appearance of the present volume. The purpose of this work is somewhat special. Far from seeking either to place itself alongside of, or to enter into rivalry with, the already recognised authorities upon the subject, it seeks rather to present the results of their critical erudition in a form and in terms free from technicalities, and to expound the main principles of the matured Roman Law relating specially to Persons, Property, and Obligations, but excluding the Law of Succession and Actions, in so far as these are the foundation of modern legal science, in a manner that does not involve as a pre-requisite a knowledge of the Latin language. In this respect the present work seeks to be an introduction to the study of law that will be available to the interested layman no less than to the would-be lawyer. By means of a succinct Historical Introduction, and throughout the text, it has been sought to indicate the course of the development of the Roman legal institutions and principles, a knowledge of which is essential to the true appreciation of any legal system.

The book explores the various sources of Roman law, including legislation, legal writings of jurists, and the influence of custom and practice. The author considers the key legal concepts developed in ancient Rome, such as property rights, contracts, and legal procedure, and explains how these ideas have influenced the development of legal systems around the world. The book also considers the ways in which Roman law has been transmitted through history, and its influence on the development of modern legal systems.
