About this Item

FIRST EDITION 404pp., original cartooned covers, gold titles. One ex libris and from the library of Vittorio Narducci. Francois Laurent (1810-1887). Historian and legislator. His fame as a lawyer rests on his authoritative exposition of the "Code Napoleon in his Principes de droit civil français" (Brussels, 33 vols., 1869-1878), and his "Le droit civil international" Brussels, 8 vols., 1880-1881). He was charged in 1879 by the minister of justice with the preparation of a report on the proposed revision of the civil code. Besides his anti-clerical pamphlets, his minor writings include much discussion of social questions, of the organization of savings banks, and had much in common with Gustave Callier, whose funeral in 1863 was made the occasion of a display of clerical intolerance, and he founded the Societé Callier for the encouragement of thrift among the working classes.
