    One of the most important treatises on civil law from the early 19th century. J.-L. Halpérin shows that, although left unfinished, this treatise surpasses all its predecessors in scope and brought Toullier renown. The author appears as an Enlightenment figure committed to individual liberty, and his natural law conceptions led him to transcend the narrow confines of a purely exegetical commentary on the Civil Code. The successive publication of the volumes of this treatise was one of the major topics of debate in the journal Thémis, and many of the articles in this journal are devoted to discussing the merits or debatable aspects of the work. It is rare to find an edition with such consistent publication dates. E. Gaudemet is equally effusive in his praise: “Duranton was a very hard worker. He is one of the very few authors who succeeded in publishing, entirely on his own, a comprehensive treatise on civil law. He began, as early as 1819, with a four-volume Treatise on Contracts and Obligations in General. In 1825, he began publication of his major work: Course of French Civil Law following the Civil Code, completed in 1837, when the first volumes were already in their third edition. The fourth and final edition appeared in 22 volumes (our copy lacks the 1845 index), from 1844 to 1845. An author, Lagrange, devoted an entire book to the study of this work, whose success, as all these facts tell us, was immediate and undisputed. Dramard indicates that this edition contains substantial differences compared to the previous ones, which are, as far as they are concerned, simply successive printings of the same text. Among the treatises of the School of Exegesis, this is certainly the least known and the rarest.
