Excerpt from The Civil Law in Spain and Spanish-America: Including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Philippine Islands, and the Spanish Civil Code in Force, Annotated and With References to the Civil Codes of Mexico, Central and South AmericaThe latin-american Commercial Codes are, in general, based on the commercial laws of Spain.The Civil Code of 1889, while not entirely satisfactory to Spain on account of the peculiar conditions existing in the Peninsula and the con¿ict between the so-called common law and statute or provincial legislation, is, aside from these differences, a most excellent code, representing some twenty-four hundred years' development of the Roman Civil Law or from the Twelve Tables of Rome until the present time. An eminent French jurisconsult, A, Leve, who recently translated the Civil Code into French, pays a high tribute to it, declaring that it is more scientific than the Code Napoleon.A few of the leading authorities to whom the author is in debted are as follows: On Primitive Times and the Goths, Tacitus, Dahn, Masdeu, Vandoncourt, Sempere, Lafuente (the first volume alone being considered impartial).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
