Motifs et Discours Prononcés lors de la Présentation du Code Civil - 1855

Motifs et Discours Prononcés lors de la Présentation du Code Civil, published in Paris in 1855, is an important historical legal work compiling the official speeches, explanatory reports, and legislative arguments presented during the introduction of the French Civil Code.

The volume offers invaluable insight into the legal philosophy and legislative reasoning behind the Napoleonic Civil Code, one of the most influential legal codifications in modern history. It provides first-hand documentation of the debates and principles that shaped civil law not only in France but also in many countries whose legal systems were inspired by the French model, including much of Latin America.

An essential reference for scholars of civil law, legal history, comparative law, and collectors of rare nineteenth-century French legal literature.
