His superb translation is noteworthy in part because it was published the year the Code was enacted. As such, it has the advantage of being in a style of English that is an idiomatic contemporary to the original French. Many scholars believe that this is the finest translation of the Code. Indeed, they have found it to be more accurate than the official Louisiana edition. The philological basis of his 393-page introduction had a profound influence on the subsequent development of classical British legal ethnography. Barrett's index, which follows the style of English lawyer's common-place books and abridgments, is a thorough guide to the Code. N° de réf. du vendeur 37566
