The scarcity of legal treatises taking the form of anthologies dealing with the several branches or sections of the law is one of the peculiar aspects of the development of Roman law up to the time of Justinian. In terms of the character of Roman legal science, Fritz Schulz clarified the lack of treatises, which he saw as an endeavor that "eschewed legal history, law reform, and legal philosophy, laid stress mainly on case law and difficulties and was only vaguely interested in system and abstraction." This explanation may well have been written regarding common law, but no doubt one would like to wish to qualify it in some respects. Eventually, however, the common law system developed and preserved a treatise literature, and the typical style of legal writing became British and American treatises in the nineteenth century. In Britain, this is indeed so, but it is notable that the tradition of writing treatises has deteriorated dramatically in the United States.
