180187628Paris: Chez Fauvelle imprimeur des Tribunaux place circulaire du Palais de justice à ParisEt Patris imprimeur-libraire quai Malaquais près le pavillon des Quatre-Nations n° 2 1801. Fine. ""The French nation having conquered liberty by the sword shall preserve and strengthen it through the law"" Preliminary Address Chez Fauvelle imprimeur des Tribunaux place circulaire du Palais de justice à Paris Et Patris imprimeur-libraire quai Malaquais près le pavillon des Quatre-Nations n° 2 Paris s. d. 1801 20.4 x 13.2 cm relié Extremely rare printing by Fauvelle official printer for the Tribunaux de la Seine contemporary and textually identical to the octavo and quarto editions by the Imprimerie de la République. Only four copies with Fauvelle's imprint in OCLC BnF National Library of Spain Royal Danish Library Stadtbibliothek Worms. Bradel-style binding in full marbled paper boards flat spine with red roan label light foxing to the first three leaves. First version of the Napoleonic Code presented by the four members of Bonaparte's commission appointed to draft the civil code. Also contains the important Preliminary Address to the First Draft of the Civil Code outlining the influences and objectives behind this landmark work - the first modern legal code to be widely adopted in Europe which influenced the codes of jurisdictions all over the world. Under Bonapartes authority the legislative commission led by Tronchet president Portalis Bigot de Préameneu and Maleville completed this draft civil code in just four months presented in Frimaire Year IX of the Republican Calendar January 1801. The structure of the text mirrors that of the Civil Code which came into effect in 21 March 1804. There are however both technical and philosophical differences: this project contains a Preliminary Book On Rights and Laws comprising six titles which would later be reduced in the Code to a single introductory article. Most sections in this version begin with explanatory comments many of which were later removed particularly in the first half of the code. As the Allgemeine Literatur Zeitung observed ""It can often be very useful to consult both the draft and the final code even in matters of legal dogmatics for the general principles and explanations provided by the commission are typically still valid for the code not because they were rejected as incorrect but rather deemed unsuitable for inclusion in the final version"" 25 March 1810. This first version of the Code was published for the Court of Cassation and appellate courts to collect their amendments. Fauvelle printer of this edition likely intended for Parisian magistrates was among the publishers of judicial commentaries submitted in response to the government's request. The courts delivered their remarks within six months of this editions release. After three years of debate and some one hundred sessionshalf chaired by Bonaparte himselfthe Civil Code was adopted in the form of 36 legislative bills and soon became known as the Napoleonic Code. This edition also includes the only appearance at the time of a Preliminary Address in essence the statement of purpose for the draft Civil Code by the four-member governmental commission between August 1800 and January 1801. . The Preliminary Address is in fact the work of Portalis whose spirit of moderation guided the drafters of the code. The legislator must remain modest Portalis maintained: a code should not seek to say everything; it must leave room for interpretation by the courts and jurists which leads to the famous phrase: The codes of nations evolve with time; properly speaking they are not made. The Preliminary Address is also a brilliant piece of propaganda outlining pacification by the Consulate after the Revolution and presenting the future code as a synthesis of the legal tradition from the French monarchy and new revolutionary principles.

Woodcut frontispiece. 24 pp. 8vo. With the defeat of the French at Waterloo England once again prepared to confine Napoleon. Looking for somewhere more than remote than Elba this time he was bound for St. Helena a tiny windswept island in the South Atlantic that was first discovered by the Portuguese and previously in control of the East India Company. <br /> <br /> In the wake of this decision there was much interest in the island and printers scrambled to meet demand. This little pamphlet commences with a history of the island followed by an account of its inhabitants food live stock climate and the all-important garrison. The woodcut includes a key to landmarks on the island.

Some fading to covers some foxing else very good. 1 vols. 8vo. This William Ellery Channing 1782-1842 was the uncle of the more famous American Transcendentalist poet William Ellery Channing II 1817-1901. The elder Channing graduated with distinction from Harvard at the ripe age of 18. His first and only pastoral settlement was a small church on Federal Street in Boston June 1803. Shortly thereafter Channing became closely identified with the intellectual movement that ultimately spawned the North American Review and a number of other journals. Channing gradually grew into a significant opponent of slavery without ever joining forces with the abolitionists or approving of what he deemed their "extremist" tactics. Channing's writings on Bonaparte such as the present title and other political figures earned him a solid literary and critical reputation in Europe as well as America. <br/><br/> Henry Channing hardcover
