Synopsis

The Civil Code Of The State Of California: As Enacted In 1872, Amended At Subsequent Sessions, And Adapted To The Constitution Of 1879, With References To The Decisions In Which The Code Was Cited, And An Appendix Of General Laws Upon The Subjects Embraced In The Code by S. Whitney. This historical statute compilation from the late 19th century presents California's civil law as codified in four divisions: Persons, Property, Obligations, General Provisions. It outlines minority and adulthood, personal rights and remedies, marriage, divorce, guardianship, and corporate personhood; it also explains property regimes and record-keeping, contract formation and breach, and general remedies. Division I elaborates on minors, personal rights, family law, and corporations; Division II covers real and personal property; Division III covers general obligations, contracts, and specific transactions; Division IV provides administrative and remedial rules and cross-division interplay. The material includes notes on guardians and wards, insurance, railroads, and cross-references to Penal and Political Codes; setting and purpose indicate a late-19th-century codification intended for libraries, lawyers, and judges. It reflects liberal construction to promote justice and documents the era's approach to capacity, property, contracts, and corporate governance.
