Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

It appears that the task of transcription was tackled chapter by chapter and was never finished, as the chapter on Insurance was left incomplete; but in the other cases of incomplete chapters (`Voluntary Servants` and `Extinction by Compensation and Retention`), some pages seem to have been lost. The introductory chapter is known only from this transcript. Part II, Chapter XIV is placed after Chapter XVI.
