Synopsis
Code Administratif, Ou Recueil Par Ordre Alphabétique De Matières, De Toutes Les Lois Nouvelles Et Anciennes, Relatives Aux Fonctions Administratives Et De Police, Des Préfets, Sous-Préfets, Maires Et Adjoints, Commissaires De Police, Et Aux Attributions Des Conseils De Préfecture, De Fleurigeon. This early 19th-century administrative code volume, compiled by Fleurigeon and published in 1806, offers a practical compilation of administrative and police laws, ministerial instructions, and decisions intended to guide civil administrators. It outlines centralized control with local implementation, and provides the alphabetically arranged material, templates for decrees, and procedures for reductions, exemptions, and appeals. The text covers the duties of prefects, sub-prefects, mayors, treasurers, and revenue officers; enforcement mechanisms; and the formal publication and record-keeping standards that ensure uniform application across departments and communes. It emphasizes legality, due process, and accountability, including provisions for complaints and redress, and describes a structured chain of authority from petition to the publication of rulings. As a historical reference, it illuminates Napoleonic administration, the transformation of property, taxation, and public finances, and the organization of state power in revolutionary and imperial France. It also includes model decrees for reductions, templates for discharge orders, and documentation requirements (expert opinions, director’s reports, and council of prefecture rulings).
