Seeking to fill a gap in our knowledge of the legal history of the
nineteenth century, this volume studies the influence of Roman and
civil law upon the development of common law jurisdictions in the
United States and in Great Britain. M. H. Hoeflich examines the
writings of a variety of prominent Anglo-American legal theorists
to show how Roman and civil law helped common law thinkers develop
their own theories.
Intellectual leaders in law in the United States and Great
Britain used Roman and civil law in different ways at different
times. The views of these lawyers were greatly respected even by
nonlawyers, and most of them wrote to influence a wider public. By
filling in the gaps in the history of jurisprudence, this volume
also provides greater understanding of the development of
Anglo-American culture and society.
