Rare. - Very important work by Jonas Dani�l Meyer (1780-1834), the first Dutch advocate of jewish origins and a leader in the emancipation struggle of Dutch jews. After publication of this work Meyer was highly praised for it both in the Netherlands and abroad. He received invitations to join scientific societies in Bruxelles, Leyden, Groningen & Batavia, as well in N�mes, G�ttingen, Turin, London & Paris. He also started scientific correspondences with Merlin and Pardessus in France, Mittelmaier and Savigny in Germany, and Cooper in England. The Esprit is a historical as well as a comparative study of contemporary law and its origins in Europe. Many of its conclusions are achievements of modern Dutch law: recommendations for the principles of a balanced jurisprudence, the need to include transitional procedures in new laws; the unity of legislation; the public nature of all court sessions, the motivation of judgements and verdicts, the cassation. Meyer also makes an exhaustive comparison between the institutions of the law in various countries, with the goal of finding an ideal solution: 'nous allons nous occuper de la perfection possible, de contingences futures, de combinaisons � cr�er (VI, p. 1-2). E.H. Hondius in Zestig Juristen. Zwolle, 1987; Roberts 212. First edition. Condition : very good copy. Keywords : RECHT, Nederlands recht, 19e.
