Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Influence of the Mosaic Code upon Subsequent Legislation"" by J. Benjamin Marsden was published in 1862. It explores the impact of the Mosaic Code, also known as the Law of Moses, on the development of legal systems throughout history. The Mosaic Code is the legal system outlined in the Old Testament of the Bible, which includes the Ten Commandments and other laws given to the Israelites by God through Moses. Marsden examines how the principles and laws of the Mosaic Code have influenced subsequent legal systems, including those of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as modern European and American law. He argues that the Mosaic Code has had a profound impact on the development of Western law, particularly in the areas of criminal law, property law, and contract law. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the Mosaic Code and its influence on subsequent legal systems. Marsden also discusses the challenges and criticisms faced by the Mosaic Code, including its perceived harshness and lack of flexibility. Overall, ""The Influence of the Mosaic Code upon Subsequent Legislation"" is a comprehensive examination of the impact of one of the world's oldest legal systems on the development of Western law. It provides a valuable insight into the historical and cultural context of modern legal systems and is a must-read for anyone interested in legal history and theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
