Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of French Law and Commercial Information This volume is a compendium of the salient points in the Law of France, taken from the French Codes and the Laws in vogue in France at the present day, together with special articles by experts on subjects of particular interest to American and English business men, travellers, and persons having business and social relations with France, students and literary persons desiring a handy book for reference. To this is added a number of forms in daily use in France in connection with business transactions and legal affairs. The whole is alphabetically arranged for convenience of reference. While written principally for laymen, the Manual may be of some interest and utility to the Profession. Of interest because French law is the perpetuation of the Civil Law, and it is also well for us votaries of the Common Law to remember that there is another juris prudence founded upon the Roman or the Civil Law, and prevailing throughout the greater part of Continental Europe, from which we have ourselves borrowed many of the most important legal principles. Of utility because the Manual, being compiled from reliable sources, may be safely consulted when occasion demands.
