About This Book

The work assembles Latin legal maxims and rules drawn from authoritative civil, canon, feudal, English, and Scots sources, presenting each maxim in the original language with an English translation and brief explanatory notes. A prefatory discussion reflects on the function of maxims in legal reasoning, and an appended reference section cites the authorities from which entries are taken. The collection emphasizes practical application, organizing succinct principles that summarize rules of law and equity for ready consultation.

Transcriber's Note

Items out of alphabetical order have been left as in the original. Some of the Latin maxims are repeated in the original, but have slightly different translations; these have been left as in the original. Some translations are poor or incorrect but have been retained as in the original, except as noted in the list below.

The corrections listed in the Errata have been made except where the Errata entry is itself incorrect. Other obvious printer or spelling errors have been corrected without note. Archaic English and Scottish spellings have been retained as in the original.

The following substantive errors have been retained as in the original:

p. 13, maxim 7 - "not valid" should be "valid."

p. 18, maxim 5 - "Catella" should be "Catalla"; "A little whelp, (perhaps cattle)" should be "Chattels."

p. 21, maxim 7 - "Condictio" should be "Conditio"; "The appointment of an action for a certain day" should be "A condition."

p. 22, maxim 2 - "Condictio præcedens" should be "Conditio præcedens"; "The appointment of an action preceding" should be "The fulfillment of a condition precedent."

p. 29, maxim 8 - "lex volentes" should be "lex nolentes"; "law draws those who are willing" should be "law draws those who are unwilling."

p. 54, maxim 5 - The Errata indicate that "three witnesses may be brought" should be in the translation, but that is not supported by the Latin, which is correct as is and says nothing about witnesses.

p. 62, maxim 7 - "est alleganda" should be "non est allegenda"; "to be alleged" should be "not to be alleged."

p. 80, maxim 3 - "casis" should be "cassis"; the translation should be "Law is the safest helmet."

p. 139, maxim 2 - The Latin maxim should read, "Quemadmodum ad quæstionem facti non respondent judices, ita ad quæstionem juris non respondent juratores"; the translation should read, "As judges do not answer to questions of fact, jurors do not answer to questions of law."

p. 151, maxim 3 - The Errata entry, "consensus," does not appear in the text of this maxim.
