Code Napoleon by Bryant Barrett Leather Bound Legal Book with Gilt Pages Vintage Lawyer Gift

The Code Napoleon, Verbally Translated from the French by Bryant Barrett is the first English translation of the French Civil Code, originally published in London in 1811. A two-volume legal classic, it features an extensive 393-page introductory discourse that compares civil regulations across various ancient cultures and systems. Barrett, an English attorney and member of Gray's Inn, provided a translation praised by historians and modern legal scholars for its exceptional accuracy. Because it was published the year the Code was enacted, Barrett's work captures the idiomatic, contemporary language of the original French text better than many subsequent editions, including the official Louisiana edition
