Fourth edition. Brazil enjoyed a remarkable period of rapid material progress and international importance under Emperors Pedro I and especially Pedro II who reigned from 1831 to 1891. The government enacted a law in 1823 calling for the gradual replacement of the Portuguese Ordenacoes with codes informed by the Enlightenment ideas of the eighteenth century and the work of Jeremy Bentham. A Projecto for commercial law was published in 1836 another in 1838. The code was enacted in 1850 and its first two editions were published in 1858 and 1869. The later editions 1878 1886 1896 are the best because they contain extensive commentary. All of these early editions are rare.
