Leage, Richard W. Roman private law, founded on the “Institutes” of Gaius and Justinian. *$3.25. Macmillan.
6–35562.
The book aims “to give as simply as possible the subject matter of the Institutes of Gaius and Justinian.” This the author does “not by translating or commenting on the original texts, but by describing clearly and concisely the substance of the law revealed to us by those texts. The historical point of view is omitted, except so far as it is necessarily involved in recording the fact (e. g.) that the forms of execution under the Antonines were different from those employed under Justinian.” (Nation.)
