Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 8 Sir William Jones, in a letter to Lord Althorpe, written after one of those excursions to France, in which his inquisitive mind, grasping every species of intellectual attainment, combined the severer studies of political science and law with the luxury of oriental literature, states that he had, among his various pursuits, attended some causes at the Palais, and brought home with him the works of a most learned lawyer, whose name and merit he should have the honour of making known to his countrymen. This writer was Pothier, whom he afterwards noticed and imitated in his beautiful essay on the Law of Bailments, and of whose treatises on the different species of contracts he speaks in the following enthusiastic manner: ´I seize with pleasure an opportunity of recommending those treatises to the English lawyer, exhorting him to read them again and again; for if his great master, Littleton, has given him, as it must be presumed, a taste for luminous method, apposite examples, and a clear manly style, in which nothing is redundant, nothing deficient, he will surely be delighted with works in which all those advantages are combined, and the greatest portion of which is law at Westminster as well as at Orleans.
