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.
