Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Roman-Dutch Law
I must warn the reader that he will find little if anything in this work to enable him to pass any of our university examinations. We in South Africa do not require law to be studied as a science. The University of the Cape of Good Hope grants a degree in law without requiring a knowledge of the history of the Roman law, much less of the Roman Dutch law. Instead of making its requirements such that the student is compelled to study law as a science, and not as a mere tool, it is quite satisfied if he can digest enough law to be able to plead some elementary cause.
