Synopsis
Code Administratif, Ou Recueil Par Ordre Alphabétique De Matières, De Toutes Les Lois Nouvelles Et Anciennes, Relatives Aux Fonctions Administratives Et De Police. Jusqu'au Ler Janvier 806 De La Police — M. Fleurigeon. This concise historical and legal compilation from Napoleonic France gathers decrees, laws, and ministerial instructions governing administrative and police functions up to January 1806. Structured as an enforceable codification, it traces the evolution from revolutionary organization to imperial administration and outlines the formal procedures by which acts are written, countersigned, sealed, published, and recorded. The work emphasizes the central role of central authorities—Emperor, Ministry, prefectures, and sub-prefectures—in ensuring uniform enforcement across departments, while detailing the duties and permissions of prefects and sub-prefects, the administration of municipalities, and the balance between public authority and judicial independence. Discours préliminaire and Plan de L’Ouvrage frame the ethical and organizational aims of administrators, while the historical survey and acts publics discuss language, publication, and the practical mechanics of governance, audits, stamps, journals, and archives. It also treats finances, property, and the regulation of municipal affairs as part of a broader centralization project.
