pl. veau blond moucheté, tit. et tom. dorés sur pc. de maroquin havane et verte, dos à nerfs ornés de fleurons dorés avec dentelles et fers dorés encadrant, tr. rouge, dentelle sur les coupes, 2 ex-libris dont l’un daté de 1776 (très fortes épidermures avec mq. sur les couv. et les dos de tous les vol., 2 coiffes manquantes, p. de tit. du t. I détaché, 1 pc. de maroquin du t. III manquant, ors lég. passés sur qq. caissons, travail de vers sur les 10 premiers ff. du t. VI, notes manuscrites d’époque à l’encre sur les contreplats et gardes et qq. fines notes manuscrites à l’encre sur les marges de tous les vol.) On connaît surtout de Poullain du Parc pour sa “petite coutume”, plus accessible et dans laquelle il opère une remise en ordre des articles par thème et fournit des petites explications et des références à la jurisprudence. Il faut d’ailleurs préciser que l’auteur passera sa vie à dépouiller et commenter plus de 2000 arrêts du parlement de Bretagne. Cette connaissance approfondie des règles coutumières et de leur pratique lui permettent de montrer l’évolution du droit depuis les grands commentaires de D’Argentrré et Hévin. Les Principes du droit françois sont plus à considérer comme un traité de droit civil que comme un commentaire d’articles. Il y joint d’ailleurs une étude concise du droit criminel que l’on retrouve dans les deux derniers volumes de notre édition. Ces contemporains le considère, en tout cas pour ce qui concerne le droit privé, comme le meilleur spécialiste du droit en Bretagne. Dupin, réf. 1213-30.

pp. [4], 115. Deckle edged. 24mo. 160 mm. Foxed. Disbound, but with the original front board and printed spine title present. Issued around the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this unusual and scarce guide to the social life and customs of Philadelphia (then the second most populous city in the U.S.) covers a wide territory with a keen eye. Lawyers, doctors, professors, popular fashions, social leaders and climbers, Utopians, etc. are examined. The Wistar Parties are named for Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) a famous physician and anatomist. It was his habit to throw open his house once every week in the winter, and at these gatherings students, citizens, scientists, and travelers met and discussed subjects of interest. These assemblies, celebrated in the annals of Philadelphia under the title of Wistar parties (or balls), were continued long after his death by other residents of that city.

The author records folk life and village society in his hometown during the period 1940-1980. He describes the material life (organization of production, survival mechanisms of residents, the village market, technical, traditional occupations) and the forms of cooperation and mutual assistance between the villagers. His local knowledge and personal experience of village life helped him to assemble much primary folklore material and record it with the help of informants and villager, providing typical examples of collective memory, showing links to the place of origin and preservation of the rich functional and ritual life of the community.188p. illus, bibligraphy. {3 copies found in WorldCat] Book
