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.
