!. Good laws founded on reason and
reason in moral sense, is the opinion Of justice
and injustice which the creator has mprin.ed in
the heart Of man in indelible characters. When
the sophisrrs, passions and prejudice,, mi,lead
the mind of man, time dissipates The error bat
the principles OF justice are eternal. The false
idea ofthe Romans about slavery exists no more
but their luminous conceptions of real right will
remain for ever and are the uHerring guides of an
enlightened jurisprudence.
= II. Every man has the unalienabe right of
knowing the laws by which his action. and
Eretensisns are to be governed. A code in
the common language, OF a translation of
code adopted as law, precares this essential adj
vantage.
III The fundamental principles of Justice and
injustice are general, and since they are such,
they are applicable TO particular cases 1t would
be useless to form different codes of laws in eve
ii'y state bounded by narrow limits There are,
IN The .c-.nn-" i7ngasge, codes of civil law of

deHce.
Tie laws of Austria cut short an useless
length of proceedings. But among al the codes
in existence, that of his imperial & royal Majesty
the Emperor Napoleon combines all the advsnta.
ges which are peculiar to each.
~. The first advantage is, that the greatest
French lawyers have agreed in its adoption un-
der the greatest man of the age. The name of
his highness the Prince. arch chancellor, Porta-
lis, Preameneu, TToncher, and of so many other
excellent persons suffice to prove this truth. The
discussions Of the Council of state, OF the Conser-
yative Senate, of the tribunals of Justice of the
Legislative body, Of the Courts of Appeal, have
mstured this work.
True, Germany, in every age, has produced
excellent lawyers The exalted merit of Boil

Heinecke, Stricke, &c. is acknowledged At
this time, the Goem'ors, Aimedingen, seiden.

go, as well as many others have ShOne conspicu-
GUS in the field of science. But as it might o.
tcrNIse be excellent IN the constitution of con.
Liberated soyereignties, it would be difficult 10
bring together in one place lawyers resid-
ing in different sovereignies, 10 combine Their
labors for the completion of code and it is
this combination Of enlightened men who have
perfected such a work.
v. The second advantage which the Napoleon
code possesses, IL, that the discussions III the
Council OF State, relative TO the laws Of winch
il is composed, are published, and the work OF
the Careful and prudent compiler Locre EXHIBITS
the spirit n the Napoleon code in luminous
f-iet OF view.
VI, Tie third advantage which TIE Napoleon
code exhibits, IS, the establishments OF Assem-.
Lisres OF kindred and OF Justices of the Ic ace.
