This book charts the formation of the French Civil Code, examining
both its public and private effects. From the sixteenth to the
eighteenth century, French private law was very different in the
various parts of the country. In northern and central France, there
were as many as sixty-five general customs in force, as well as
over three hundred local customs, often differing from them in
detail. As the feeling of nationhood grew, so did the idea of
replacing the existing variety of laws by a single private law,
possibly a code, common to all of France. 'A single body of law,
called the Code Civil is to be created' proclaimed the Law of 21
March 1804, which was created by the amalgamation of thirty-six
texts. The French Civil Code analyzes the Code using contemporary
and modern sources, including the beautiful and concise extract
from H.A.L. Fisher's History of Europe which gives an English
historian's appraisal of Napoleon's contribution to the Code Civil.
This text will appeal to all students of and those with an interest
in international law.
