Here Dr. Schuster has presented to English readers the entire private or civil law of the German empire. “The immediate and practical purpose of the book is to aid the English lawyer in dealing with conflicts of law; and for this reason the German rules of international private law are set forth and compared with the English in connection with the matters in which choice of law has most often to be made. The author’s chief purpose, however, is ... to aid in placing the study of the English law on a higher plane.” (Pol. Sci. Q.)
“This is an admirable book, well calculated to promote the serious study of comparative law and to give a trustworthy account of the great work accomplished by the juridical science of Germany. He has carried out his purpose with great acuteness and learning.”
