An obviously useful work that went through at least six editions from 1829 to 1842. This third edition is updated to reflect changes brought on by the end of the Bourbon Restoration in 1830. In addition to the all the standard matters relating to commercial activity, it covers a vast array of miscellaneous topics, such as adoption, bigamy, burials, marriage and divorce, fireworks, physicians and vagrants.
