SERVITUDE (See also:Lat. servitus, from service, to serve) , a right over the See also:property of another. In See also:Roman See also:law, servitudes were classified into (I) See also:personal, i.e. those given to a particular See also:person, and (2) praedial, i.e. those enjoyed over something else (praedium serviens) by being owner or See also:tenant of a piece of See also:land or a See also:house (praedium dominans). Personal servitudes were subdivided into (a) usus, the right of using property; (b) usufructus the of See also:short stories are: Stefan Sremats, whose mild See also:satire and sparkling See also:humour earned for him the name of the " Servian See also:Dickens "; Yanko Veselinovich, author of some delightful sketches from the See also:life of Servian peasants; Sima Matavuly, whose stories give a true picture of the Servians of See also:Dalmatia and of See also:Montenegro. Delightful stories of old times and of the Adriatic See also:coast were written by Stefan Mitrov Lyubisha (1824-1878). In dramatic literature the Servians are comparatively See also:rich. The poet Dr Laza Kostich made excellent See also:translations from See also:Shakespeare (See also:King See also:Lear, Romeo and Juliet, King See also:Richard III.), and gave the Servian See also:stage two of its best tragedies: See also:Maxim Tsrnoyevich and Petar Segedinats; also the See also:comedy Gordana. Matiya See also:Ban's Meyrimah is considered the best tragedy in the Serbo-Croatian See also:language. The patriotic See also:drama Balkanska Tsaritsa, by See also:Prince See also:Nicholas of Montenegro, has been often played and enthusiastically received by the public, but the critics deny to it much dramatic value. Milosh Tsvetich has given See also:fine and lasting contributions to the Servian stage in his drama Stefan Nemanya and tragedy Todor of Stalach. Among the writers of comedy the first See also:place must be assigned to Kosta Trifkovich (d. 1875); Milovan Glishich (d. 1908) was also very popular; and Branislav, Nushich was the most successful of Servian dramatists See also:early in the loth See also:century.

modern scientific literature the See also:principal Servian names are those of the electrician Nicholas Tesla, the botanist Dr Josif Panchich, and the geologists Dr Yovan Zhuyevich and Dr Yovan Tsviyich (Cvijic). In See also:philology a very high place is occupied by Gyuro Danichich, once See also:professor of philology at the high school in See also:Belgrade and secretary to the See also:South See also:Slavonic See also:Academy at See also:Agram, where he was for years the principal editor of the See also:great See also:lexicon of the Servian or Croatian language. He had a very distinguished See also:pupil in Stoyan Novakovich, who wrote numerous studies on philological subjects, and whose Servian See also:grammar is still the See also:standard See also:book in all Servian See also:schools.
