This book offers a fine introduction to Roman law and its
significance to personal and family law in the English, American
and civil-law systems. Contents include "The World Wide Extension
of Roman Law," "The Civil Law in the United States and Canada,"
"Outlines of Roman Law History," "The Corpus Juris Civilis," "The
Law of Persons including Marriage, Husband and Wife, Divorce,
Parent and Child, Guardian and Ward," "The Law of Property," "The
Law of Obligations," "The Law of Succession," "The Law of Actions"
and "The Law of Public Wrongs." "The book covers the full range of
substantive Roman law, as well as the extension of Roman law
throughout the modern world and, in particular, the influence of
Roman law in the United States and England. Unlike most American
legal scholars, Burdick was sufficiently familiar with the primary
sources of Roman law, from Cicero to Justinian, to write from them
rather than secondary literature and translations. At the same
time, he was exceptionally well-versed in English and American case
law and able to use these sources to show developments and
parallels. It was a scholarly tour-de-force." --Michael H.
Hoeflich, University of Kansas Law Review 49 (2000-2001) 1146-1147
William L. Burdick 1860-1946] was a professor of law (1898-1912)

his honor. From 1919-1924, at the charge of Congressman E.C. Little
of Kansas, he recodified existing U.S. statutes. He was the author
of The Elements of the Law of Sale and Property (1901), Handbook of
the Law of Real Property (1914), The Bench and Bar of Other Lands
(1939) and other works.
