Synopsis
Excerpt from The Institutes of Justinian: With English Introduction, Translation, and Notes
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 se 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.

Synopsis
Excerpt from The Institutes of Justinian: With English Introduction, Translation, and Notes
At the end of the volume I have given a Summary of the principal contents of the Text and Notes. As the arrangement of the Institutes is often deficient in method, and as the transition from the text to the notes makes the combination of the materials they respectively supply sometimes a little difficult, I have thought a Summary might be useful to those to whom the whole subject is new.
