Institutes of Roman Law
The personal servitude of using and taking the fruits of another's property, discussed as to its modes of creation and transfer.
These modes of creating usufruct are confined to estates in Italian soil, for only these estates can be conveyed by mancipation or judicial surrender.
My recent statement that usufruct was only constituted by surrender before a magistrate was not inaccurate, although it may in this sense be created by mancipation that we may mancipate the property and reserve the usufruct;
In slaves and other animals usufruct can be created even on provincial soil by surrender before a magistrate.
The Rights of War and Peace
A Roman legal right of use and enjoyment, distinguished from the right discussed
But it is necessary to remark, that when it is said the enjoyment of the profits of consumable things, whose property is transferred, in the use, to the borrower or trustee, was introduced by an act of the senate, this does not properly come under the notion of Usufruct, which certainly in its original signification answers to no such right.
