The "Livingston Code"A comprehensive system of criminal law which,
while not adopted in the United States, is still influential today
because it is the first complete penal code built on Jeremy
Bentham's principles of codification. From a penal standpoint the
code is important as well not only in terms of its completeness and
order, but from its perspective of the advancement of crime
prevention over punishment. " The Code]...will certainly arrange
your name with the sages of antiquity."--Thomas Jefferson"You have
done more in giving precision, specification, accuracy and
moderation to the system of crimes and punishments 'than any other
legislator of the age, and your name will go down to posterity with
distinguished honor."--James Kent"You will be numbered among the
men of this age who have deserved most and best of mankind."
--Victor Hugo " Edward Livingston is] . . . the first legal genius
of modern times."--Henry Sumner MaineEdward Livingston 1764-1836]
graduated from Princeton College at the age of 17. He was a senator
from New York and later Louisiana. He served as U.S. Secretary of
State from 1831-1833.
