The Victorian Achievement of Sir Henry Maine
Leading scholars in the social sciences come together to consider the achievement of Sir Henry Maine.
The Early History of the Property of Married Women (C. 1873) by
Sir Henry James Sumner Maine (15 August 1822 - 3 February 1888), was a British comparative jurist and historian. He is famous for the thesis outlined in his book Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract." According to the thesis, in the ancient world individuals were tightly bound by status to traditional groups, while in the modern one, in which individuals are viewed as autonomous agents, they are free to make contracts and form associations with whomever they choose. Because of this thesis, Maine can be seen as one of the forefathers of modern legal anthropology, legal history and sociology of law.Maine was the son of Dr. James Maine, of Kelso, Roxburghshire. He was educated at Christ's Hospital, where a boarding house was named after him in 1902. From there he went up to Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1840.

Excerpt from Sir Henry Maine: A Brief Memoir of His Life It has been thought desirable that a sketch of Sir Henry Maine, somewhat fuller than the notices which appeared after his death, should be prefixed to this volume. His was a life which contained but few incidents. He was never connected with great affairs, save in India and at the India Office, and the great affairs with which he was connected were not of a kind to attract the attention of even well-informed readers who are not specially interested either in the country to which he gave so much of his thoughts, or in legal history and jurisprudence. His only adequate monument is to be found in his works. A life of him of the regulation...
