English law proceeds on the same theory as the Roman . For instance , a tenant in tail male made a lease for years with covenants of right to let and for quiet enjoyment , and then died without issue male . The Roman Republic and the Roman Empire did not produce thinkers or writers who did as much for the progress of mankind as was done by the philosophers , the historians , and the poets of Greece , and the fruits of Greek genius were mainly due to the intellectual achievements of Athens during not much more than a century . The English law of the subject is found on examination to be the same as the Roman in extent , reason , and expression . The Conservative Ministry of which he was the head , though admittedly defeated in the general election , did not resign until they suffered actual defeat in the newly-elected House of Commons . Teutonic institutions brought into Britain by the English conquerors ; effects of the settlement on the conquerors ; probable increase of slavery ; Earls and Churls ; growth of the kingly power ; nature of kingship ; special sanctity of the King ; immemorial distinction between Kings and Eal-dormen . But the question [ 369 ] remains whether this identification bore fruit in other parts of the law also , or whether it was confined to one particular branch , where the Roman law was grafted upon the English stock .
