Important Study on Roman Law by a Scottish Scholar David Irving
1778-1860] was originally a biographer, librarian, and author of a
number of works who established his reputation in 1807 with Memoirs
of the Life and Writings of George Buchanan. After its publication,
he turned to his interest in law, and obtained the degree of doctor
of laws from Marischal College, Aberdeen in 1808. In 1815 he
published Observations on the Study of the Civil Law as a pamphlet
to aid candidates for admission into the Faculty of Advocates. It
was enlarged in 1820 when he was appointed keeper of the library of
the Faculty of Advocates, and again in 1823, then took final shape
and publication in this volume in 1837. His writing on Roman
jurisprudence is enhanced by his knowledge of classical literature.
Irving anonymously edited an edition of Selden's Table Talk in
1819, with notes, a new edition of which was published in 1854.
Later Irving contributed three pieces on Canon, Civil, and Feudal
Law, and most of the biographies of Scottish authors to the
Encyclopedia Britannica, 7th edition. The biographies were later
collected in the volumes Lives of Scotish Writers and published in
1839.
