Fine. $45. * Arguably the greatest French jurist of the eighteenth century, Pothier devoted much of his career to the study of French civil law and its relation to natural and Roman law. A brilliant and prolific scholar, he wrote a long series of treatises on all of its branches. Distinguished by their clarity and organization, they had a profound influence on the Code Napoleon. The present treatise addresses sale as a form of contract. Other volumes discuss leases, partnership, possession and other topics. This edition is a reprint of the first American edition, which was translated by Luther Stearns Cushing, who lectured on Roman law at Harvard.
