Councils of Pava promoted by the POpes from the

moral virtue.

FEDERICO sELOPIs.
In 1857 Count Federico Selopis published the third
volume of his History Of Italian Legislation" the
two former appeared in 1910 and 1874, and treat OF It's
orgio and primitive deveopment-the third Of its
progress. by means Of facts and deductions, he
proves hat the Italians were masters of law as of
every other science in Europe. Seopis illustrates
very clearly every branch Of legislation, and his
power of criticism is especially exhibited in his dis
quistions on public Jaw and in tracing the ideal his
tory of legislation which he extracts from the great
works of the thinkers and pu5lcists, and from the
Italian philosophers after 1900, whose IDEAS have
been borrowed by foreigners without so much az an

Tie third volume is divided into seven chapters.

the laws and institutions Of the Venetian Republic;
and lastly the study of public law and the science OF
legislation.
