Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The French Civil Code: As Amended Up to 1906 This work, probably thankless, is an attempt to make the Code Napoleon comprehensible to English officials who are not of French origin. It is the result of three years work while Chief Justice of Seychelles: all my time not actually occupied on the bench being devoted to it. I have also spent the greater portion of my leave in seeing it through the press. I hope it may assist my fellow countrymen in avoiding some of the pitfalls that an Englishman might fall into, owing to the nature of the language used in the Code, which is at times technical and at others popular. While a three years administration of the Civil Code and a careful study of the leading French commentators makes me, I hope, appreciate some of the difficulties and pitfalls the Code presents to an Englishman, and though I recognise the danger of attempting a translation; yet the fact that British citizens not of French origin are governed by the Code in some of our possessions made me wish to facilitate its knowledge and study. This translation is, I believe, the first made by a person more familiar with English than French law, if I may judge from the internal evidence contained in previous translations. It is the only translation which gives the Code as amended up to date, and containing notes from the works of the leading French commentators, and which are explanatory of French legal terms. Occasionally I have been tempted to make comparisons between English and French law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
