THE SEVENTH EDITION of the 'Institutes' has been carefully revised and corrected, but scarcely any additions have been made beyond that of giving at the end of the Introduc tion a chronological list of the chief laws and legal changes noticed in the 'Institutes'. The object of the work is to aid those who desire to use the 'Institutes 'as an introduction to the study of Roman law, or who wish to find in one volume the means of gaining a general acquaintance with the history, principles, and contents of Roman law. In the Introduction I have endeavoured to give such a general sketch of Roman law and its history as will prepare readers for the details of the work itself. The translation aims at rendering the text in language intelligible to those who have not, as well as to those who have, a long ac quaintance with Latin. The notes are intended to embody such information as is necessary to elucidate the text, or to give the results of successive legal changes. In the Summary at the end of the volume I have attempted to arrange in a methodical form the principal contents of the text and the notes. The value of the 'Institutes' is that of an elementary work, and the value of an elementary work is destroyed if it is made too long and difficult. I have, therefore, avoided controverted points of law and history as much as possible, and where it was not possible to avoid them, I have stated what seemed to me the soundest conclusion, without attempting to defend it. The original edition was in the main founded on the works of Ortolan, Ducaurroy, and Puchta. In subsequent editions I was greatly aided by the elaborate commentaries of Demangeat, to which those who wish to find in the In stitutes' something more than an elementary work may be confidently referred. Lastly, I have derived assistance, which it is impossible to acknowledge too freely, from Mr. Poste's learned edition of "Gaius,' and from Mr. Hunter's admirable and exhaustive work on 'Roman Law'; while in revising the translation, I have had the great advantage of consulting the careful and accurate translation of Messrs. Abdy and Walker. The text adopted is, with few variations, that of Huschke (Leipzig, 1868). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
