It also deals with the powers of French courts over foreigners and loss of civil rights for example by enlisting abroad without permission. Further it introduces the concept of "civil death" which allows heirs to take possession "in the same way as if one had died naturally and intestate" dissolves any marriage and allows one to be a party to a case only under a "curateur" appointed by the court. Condemnation for contempt of court "contumace" brings civil death if not purged within five years.

It deals with pay uniform promotion boarding and discipline and bread rations expressed both in metric and in ounces.

An unusual and evocative letter in which the young Dominique Joseph Robaglia aged just sixteen and a half from Napoleon's own birthplace of Ajaccio Corsica asks the emperor to admit him to the school of Artillery presumably at the École Militaire in Paris where Napoleon had himself trained to become an artillery officer as a young man.</p><p>Addressed "Sire" the letter states: "Robaglia Dominique Joseph aged sixteen and half years native of Ajaccio has the honour of exhibiting to you very respectfully that having known courses in humanities arithmetic and algebra has just finished his geometry class. Having always had a penchant for the military and desiring to exercise the little talent he may have in the service of your Majesty beg him to be willing to admit him to the number of students of the Artillery. He will be faithful and so will make worthy of the tales of his Majesty. I have the honour to be Sire with the very profound sentiments of respect to your Majesty the very humble obedient and faithful subject D. J. Robaglia".</p><p>As indicated by an old ownership stamp the letter at one time formed part of the Lindsay Library once considered amongst the greatest libraries in Britain containing an important collection of letters and documents relating to the royal families and crowned heads of Europe prior to its dispersal in the early twentieth century.</p><p>A charming piece of Napoleana.</p> [Original manuscript]
