Excerpt from The French Code of Commerce, and Most Usual Commercial Laws, With a Theoretical and Practical Commentary, and a Compendium of the Judicial Organisation, and of the Course of Procedure Before the Tribunals of Commerce: Together With the Text of the Law, the Most Recent Decisions of the Courts, and a Glossary of French Judicial Terms

MY object in writing this Book has been to put at the disposal of the legal profession in England and America a practical treatise on French Commercial Law.

Commerce is daily rendering the relations between distant countries more and more intimate; the great inventions that characterise our century have mainly contributed to diminish the distance between them in space and time; anglo-saxon enterprise, availing itself of its acknowledged empire over the seas, and of its vast colonial territory, has embraced the whole world in its projects of commerce and civilization; France, outdone indeed by its neighbour, has nevertheless preserved an important place in the progress of commercial exchanges, and it is to the relations arising therefrom that is chiefly due the cordial alliance of to-day which has te placed the hatred of former times. England and America now occupy whole quarters in our large towns; they have their own Banks, their own Press, and side by side with our factories have of late been reared British rivals, in earnest and friendly competition.
