    A seminal text of old French law, this second and final edition has been greatly expanded (the first dates from 1747). Its purpose is to establish a continuous body of law drawing upon natural law, Roman law, royal prerogative law, and customary law. It provides a magnificent definition of the concept of "common law," and it is also worth noting that the first volume opens with the maxim "every person is free," the juxtaposition of which with Article 8 of the Civil Code, "every Frenchman shall enjoy civil rights," underscores both the universalism of Enlightenment law and the inherent nature of a freedom, not a right or claim.
