Excerpt from A Lecture Upon Roman Law Procedure

Now, equity is no part of the law, but a moral virtue which qualifies, moderates, and reforms the rigor, hardness, and edge of the law, and is a universal truth. It does also assist the law where it is defective and weak in the constitution (which is the life. Of the law), and defends the law from crafty evasions, delusions, and mere subtleties, invented and contrived to evade and elude the common law, whereby such as have undoubted right.

Excerpt from A Lecture Upon Roman Law Procedure

The following sketch of the history and character of legal procedure in the Roman Law was originally delivered in October, 1875, as the opening lecture in my course of instruction in Pleading. I now publish it for your use, in the hope that it may be found to present, in brief outline and convenient form, the leading features of the several systems of pleading and procedure which obtained in that nation of antiquity, whose growth was most affected by legal processes and promoted by lawyers. and whose jurisprudence has most influenced our own. Of course I claim no other merit for these few pages than the industry which was intended to, and it is hoped may aid your labors in this field. If Mr. Abdy's little work upon this subject had been republished in this country, I should not have printed these pages; but not knowing where else to refer you for a brief general sketch of this branch of the Civil Law, I have compiled these pages both as a pleasure and a duty.
