Synopsis
Excerpt from The Visigothic Code
It is far more instructive and suggestive than a chronicle. Nowhere have the purposes of the law been more ably stated than in its terse and ex pressive phraseology. It proclaims the sentiments of a lofty morality. It appreciates the true object and end of legislation. In its stern and inflexible disregard for the arrogant claims of superior wealth and station, it assured to the most lowly the adminis tration of impartial justice.
