Of Engagements The notes of the author himself, although referring in many instances to the old French law, which, in form at least, has been superseded by the modern codes, have been scrupulously retained; inasmuch as, in every place out of France where French law still prevails to any extent, it is the old law, and not the new codes, to which recourse must be had.
