"In October and November 191 1, Dr Verrall, as King Edward VII 

 Professor of English Literature, delivered a course of twelve lectures on 

 Dryden, thus carrying out the intention which he formed as soon as he 

 was appointed to the English Chair. The reason for the selection of this 

 subject was not only his own long-standing admiration for Dryden, but 

 the importance of his work in the development of English prose and verse, 

 and its comparative neglect among the younger lovers of literature at the 

 present day The present volume reproduces strictly the original manu- 

 script notes as arranged for delivery." — Preface

"Verrall's passion for literature as a living thing, his detestation of pedantry of all 

 kinds, his love of the parado.x that stimulates thought... all these things combined with 

 his great power of lucid exposition and his almost uncanny gift of declamation to make 

 it impossible that he should fail." — The Morning Post

"This work," says the author in his Preface, "was written as part of 

 a History of Roman Private Law, which I can scjircely hope to complete, 

 but for which I have been collecting notes and other materials during 

 many years. It is therefore intended primarily for readers who take the 

 study of Roman Law with Jurisprudence, and necessarily involves some 

 considerable acquaintance with the former subject. It does not affect to 

 be a Manual, being intended rather for students than candidates for 

 examination." 



The Glasgow Herald describes the book as an " elaborate, erudite, and 

 leisurely examination of the nature of jurisprudence under constant refer- 

 ence to the Roman Law and the English institutional writers, at once 

 analytical, descriptive, and comparative. If it has little of the formal 

 precision of Holland's well-known text-book, its discursive method admits 

 of wise and full discussion of such problems as the relation of moralit) 

 to law, and of law to the state, which are of immediate interest to man] 

 other persons than students."
