Arguably the greatest French jurist of the eighteenth century, Pothier devoted much of his career to the study of French civil law. A brilliant and prolific scholar, he wrote a long series of treatises on all of its branches. This one deals with hiring and leases. Other volumes discuss sale, contacts, partnership, possession and other topics. In all cases Pothier examines each issue from the perspective of natural equity (or "interieur") and positive law (or "exterieur"). Distinguished by their clarity and organization, these treatises had a profound influence on the Code Napoleon. British Museum Catalogue (Compact Edition) 20:771 (citing a later printing). …
