Broom's Legal Maxims

.........................................................................................................................
Description
Shakespeare's compliment to Cleopatra: "Age cannot wither her" applies equally to this treatise. Herbert Broom first published Legal Maxims twelve years before the Great Revolt of 1857, which formally ended the Mughal Empire in India and coincided with the transfer of power from the East India Company to the crown, thus starting the "British Raj". Through the centuries, this book has remained relevant useful as the definitive guide to ancient principles of Roman Law that have found a place in the legal code of every civilized society. Its importance is therefore self-evident. It is an honour and privilege to be entrusted as the revising editor of this, the thirteenth edition. No changes, except those that are necessary and inevitable as a result of the efflux of time have been made. Many new cases have been added, certain errors removed and, it is hoped, no new ones added!
