Excerpt from Essays in Legal History: Read Before the International Congress of Historical Studies, Held in London in 1913 The collection Of papers in this volume consists Of the communi cations made to the Section Of Legal History (via) of the Inter national Congress of Historical Studies held in London in April 191 3. All the papers read in the Section have been kindly contributed by their authors for this publication. In some cases, where the communications actually read were in the nature of extracts from longer treatises, the papers have been reproduced here in exzemo. The papers of Geheimrath O. Von Gierke and Dr. A. Lappo Danilevskij were read at General Meetings of the Congress, but were written for the Section of Legal History, and naturally take a place in its transactions. The essays in the present volume are presented in a different order from that in which they followed each other at the Congress, as it was desirable to group them some what more systematically. On several occasions some discussion followed the reading of the papers, but it proved unnecessary to publish the minutes Of such discussions, as most Of the principal points were afterwards embodied in the revised texts Of the communications.
