Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction and Notes to Sir Henry Maine's "Ancient Law" There is no better witness to the intrinsic weight of Maine's work than the nature of some criticism it has met with, from competent persons on the Continent rather than at home. So far as those learned persons complain of anything, they miss that symmetrical construction of a finished system to which their training has ac customed them. Now it is to be observed that no words of Maine's own ever gave his readers the promise of a systematic doctrine. Not one of his books professed on the face of it to account for the ultimate origin of human laws, or to settle the relations of jurisprudence to ethics, or to connect the science of law with any theory of politics or of social development. Yet it does not seem to have occurred to the critics in question to charge Maine with remissness in not having attempted these things. The disappointment ex pressed was that he did not fully accomplish them, or that, if he had a solution, he never sufficiently declared it. Regret that Maine's work was not more openly ambitious is legitimate, though I do not share it expression of it might have signified much or little. It might have been thoroughly sincere, and due to imperfect under standing oi the relations to time, circumstances.

Excerpt: ... uncertain to be safely handled on Montesquieu's grand scale. Perhaps he would have done better to confine himself to Vestern Europe. The main defects of his method may be reduced, 1 think, to two. First, he overrated the influence of climate and other external conditions, and underrated, if he did not wholly neglect, the effects of race and tradition. Next, he had not even an inkling of what is now a fundamental rule of this kind of enquiry: namely, that there is a normal course of development for communities as well as for individuals, and that institutions which belong to different stages are not commensurable terms in any scientific comparison. This is as much as to say that even Montesquieu could not wholly escape from the unhistorical dogmatism of his time. It is perhaps a minor drawback that he constantly seeks for reasons of deliberate policy to account for seemingly eccentric features of outlandish customs, rightly or wrongly reported by missionaries or others, instead of endeavouring to connect them with their historic and racial surroundings. But the result is that many chapters of his great work amount, taken by themselves, to little more than collections of anecdotes and conjectures in which the most incongruous elements, such as the customs of China and the laws of Spain, are brought together at random. Also Montesquieu is not free from the very common error, especially prevalent in the eighteenth century, of attributing a constant and infallible eflicacy to forms of government. In short, Montesquieu saw the promised land afar off, but was not equipped for entering it. I do not wish to be understood as affecting to find any fault with him. The greatness of Montesquieu's conception was his own, and the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theories and Criticisms of Sir Henry Maine Tiie works of Sir Henry Maine have to be studied for the Honours Examination of the Inns of Court and the Universities at home and in the Colonies, and also for the final Examination of those who have passed the Indian Civil Competitive Examination. Jurisprudence is also an optional subject for the last-mentioned Examination. The questions asked on Maine are those which are the best calculated to test the candidate's knowledge of the criticisms and theories contained in his six works, Ancient Law, Early Law and Custom, Early History of Institutions, Village Communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one who is interested in the growth of human ideas or the origins of human society can afford to neglect Maine's Ancient Law. Published some one hundred and forty years ago it immediately took rank as a classic, and its epoch-making influence may not unfitly be compared to that exercised by Darwin's Origin of Species. The revolution effected by the latter in the study of biology was hardly more remarkable than that effected by Maine's brilliant treatise in the study of early institutions. Well does one of Maine's latest and most learned commentators say of his work that "he did nothing less than create the natural history of law." This is only another way of saying that he demonstrated that our legal conceptions—using that term in its largest sense to include social and political institutions—are as much the product of historical development as biological organisms are the outcome of evolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Henry Maine: A Brief Memoir of His Life It has been thought desirable that a sketch of Sir Henry Maine, somewhat fuller than the notices which appeared after his death, should be prefixed to this volume. His was a life which contained but few incidents. He was never connected with great affairs, save in India and at the India Office, and the great affairs with which he was connected were not of a kind to attract the attention of even well-informed readers who are not specially interested either in the country to which he gave so much of his thoughts, or in legal history and jurisprudence. His only adequate monument is to be found in his works. A life of him of the regulation size could no doubt be compiled according to the regulation fashion; that is, by stringing together great numbers of his letters to various official personages at home or in India when he was serving at Calcutta or Simla; but they would not be of any general interest, and he was far from being much given to writing letters, either for the pleasure of doing so or for the purpose of keeping up relations with private friends.
