PREFACE.
ix

lation and commentary to the new readings obtained from the reexamination of the Veronese MS. by Studemund and the critical labours of Krueger; but also by omission from the commentary of much that seemed unnecessary to the purpose of giving the student a commanding though general view of the principal branches of the Roman Civil Law.

In preparing this third edition for the press I have received the valuable assistance of my friend Mr. E. A. Whittuck.
