“This And Other Books In The Series We Regard Of The Very Great Value… They Contain In Convenient Form Material For Juristic Study Not Easily Accessible To Most Lawyers. As To The Present Book We Would Say That Its Articles Are Worth Serious Consideration, Stimulating To Thought, And That They Treat The Subject In An Ideal Way… It Introduces Us To A Wide Variety Of Views, Held By Students And Thinkers Of Great Ability, Upon Various Forces Under Which Given Laws Have Been Adopted. The Writers Are From Different Nationalities. The United States, England, Germany And Belgium Furnish Five Each, France And Italy Three Each, Spain And Switzerland One Each. … The Volume Is Divided Into Groups Of Articles By Author Of Repute And Renown. The Articles Incorporated In The Collection Are, However, Of Great Value As Promoting The Intelligent Comprehension Of The Order Of Succession Of Known Legal Institutions And They Make Clear The Enormous Complexity Of The Process Which Results In Any Given System Of Law At Any Given Time.”— Extracts From The Yale Law Journal ReviewThe Present Work Is A Part Of The Series Titled “Evolution Of Law.
