Rare in first edition. Historical Notes: M. De la Croix was Professor of Law at the Lyceum, and the Author of Le Repertoire de Jurisprudence, La Nouvelle Encyclopedic, and many lectures on law. His works on European governments were studied by students all over Europe, but he was not loved by all. The Franch, his home country, at one point considered his writing to be... "the most unpatriotic partialities, continually disgracing and vilifying ancient France in contrast with ancient England." But De al Croix did not think that he had sufficiently exalted the new constitution of his country, and fought back with, "A work would probably gain much applause which should have for its object the demonstrating, by a comparison much more extensive than was consistent with nvy present plan, that the English constitution is as far superior to the constitutions of the other states of Europe, as the American constitution is preferable to that of England; and which should afteiwards hew the pre-eminence of the constitution of France over even that of America. If I should not execute this task myself, the materials which I have supplied in... these essays will render it more easy to some other hand."
