Gabriel Demombynes – European Constitutions. 2 Volumes. Paris, Larose et Forcel, 1881. In French.

A major work of comparative constitutional law, published in Paris in 1881 by Larose et Forcel. This two-volume treatise offers one of the most comprehensive nineteenth-century surveys of the constitutional systems, parliaments, provincial and municipal institutions, and judicial organizations of the principal European states.

Demombynes systematically examines the constitutional organization of each country, comparing legislative institutions, local government, judicial structures and administrative systems. The work also includes a study of the United States Congress, making it an important contribution to comparative constitutional scholarship.

Today it remains a valuable historical source for constitutional historians, legal scholars, universities, specialized libraries and collectors of rare legal books.
