English Opportunities And Duties In The Historical And Comparative Study Of Law

''English Opportunities And Duties In The Historical And Comparative Study Of Law: An Inaugural Lecture'' is a book written by Frederick Pollock and originally published in 1883. The book is a transcript of Pollock’s inaugural lecture as the first professor of jurisprudence at the University of Oxford. In the lecture, Pollock emphasizes the importance of studying law from a historical and comparative perspective. He argues that understanding the evolution of legal systems and their differences across cultures and societies is crucial for developing a deeper understanding of the law. Pollock also discusses the unique opportunities and challenges facing English legal scholars in this field. He highlights the rich history of English law and the country’s position as a global power, which provides ample opportunities for comparative study. At the same time, he notes the limitations of English legal education, which has traditionally focused on the study of domestic law and neglected the broader historical and comparative perspectives.Overall, ''English Opportunities And Duties In The Historical And Comparative Study Of Law: An Inaugural Lecture'' is a thought-provoking exploration of the importance of historical and comparative legal studies and the challenges facing English legal scholars in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
