Originally published in 1895, this book was formed from the Yorke Prize Essay for 1893. The text presents a discussion of the role of contracts in the development of Roman law and trade down to the end of the Republican period.
A list of authorities consulted is included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Roman law and the classical world.
