a ca l l f o r s c i e n t i f i c p u r i t y 9 h i s dissertation has been written under the auspices of the Faculty of Law at the University of Stockholm. The subject of this study was determined in cooperation with my supervisors, Professors Claes Peterson and Marie Sandström. I am deeply grateful for their valuable support and inspiration in the completion of this task. During the final stages of revision and proofreading, the comments and advice given by Mr Brian Moore (UK) have been invaluable. The Institutet för Rättshistorisk Forskning, the Olin Foundation for Legal History, kindly provided the financial means necessary for the realization of this project, including the economic support needed to attend conferences and other gatherings both at home and abroad. In addition, the Olin Foundation has accepted this study for publication in its series Rättshistoriskt Bibliotek. For all of this, I am greatly indebted. I extend my sincere thanks to the Faculty of Law, which during my post-graduate studies provided workspace, a shorter term of employment, the opportunity to teach, and to have access to certain travel funds. Finally, my warmest thanks to Jan Hellner’s foundation, Stiftelsen den 28 oktober 1982, for the awards of several grants for the purchase of necessary literature, as well as providing me with the opportunity to travel abroad for the purpose of study.
