Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperatoris Iustiniani Institutionum: Libri Quattuor; With Introductions, Commentary, and Excursus The text which I have followed is that published by Krueger in his and Mommsen's Edition of the Corpus iuris civilis (berlin, In writing the Introductions, Commen tary, and Excursus, I believe I have consulted the best and most recent authorities: perhaps my obligation throughout is heaviest to Puchta (ou whose masterly Institutionen, Book II, the General Introduction is mainly based), Schrader, Baron, and Vangerow. My constant difficulty, in explaining the text, has been to know where to draw the line between notes, in the ordinary sense of the word, and a more systematic treatment of legal topics. If I seem to have been too prolix, my excuse must be the scarcity of accessible books upon the subject in our own language. A French or German edition of the Institutes might well have been far shorter, but there the reader can be referred to systematic institutional treatises upon points which hardly occur in our text. A book such as Puchta's or Kuntze's still remains to be written in English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
