MY object in translating the Civil Code of France into English is to place at the disposal of the members of the Legal Profession in English-speak ing countries, a work enabling them to find out and establish what the French law is. For that purpose I have compared my translation with the original records, and have sworn to its correctness. Supplements will hereafter appear, containing the new amendments to the Code. Foreign Courts when called upon to decide questions of French law have sometimes rendered decisions not in accordance with the laws of that country. This book, it is to be hoped, may be found useful in preventing the recurrence of such cases. In remembering the achievements of France's great Conqueror, the Code is not among the works which have contributed the least to his fame, and its effects will be more lasting than those of his great battles. When presiding over the meetings at which the Articles of the Code were discussed, Napoleon, although not a jurist, displayed such quickness of perception and soundness of views as to astonish those present.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
