Abstract

The present revival of Roman Law study in England and America is largely due to Sir Henry Maine. Sheldon Amos' loyal tribute deservedly extols the genius of Maine who "rescued the laws of Rome from the neglect into which they had fallen in England and established forever their essential relation to every system of law having an European parentage."'
