Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Early Roman Law: The Regal Period
In the matter of orthography I must apologize for certain inconsistencies. In all continuous Latin I have adopted the principle of making no symbolic distinction between the palatal vowel (i) and palatal spirant (some times written J), or between the labial vowel (u) and labial spirant (often written V). Such a distinction I believe to be not only destitute of good authority, but misleading. I should have preferred to employ the same symbol for the capital as for the small writing, both of labial and palatal: but V capital and u small seem too firmly established in good modern editions for me to dis turb them.
