Excerpt from The French Civil Code: As Amended Up to 1906 The study of French law is most desirable for many reasons. Our close commercial relations with France make it almost. Essential that the large number of persons connected with France either as British officials or mer chants trading with that country, or who have entered into yet more intimate relations with French citizens, should be able to obtain a knowledge of the Code. This is generally impossible unless it is available in an English form, with notes specially suited to the English mind. The Code, moreover, is the model on which the laws of many Continental nations were formed, and foreign institutions are often incomprehensible unless the foreign law is understood. French law obtains largely, moreover, in Egypt. Another advantage of studying French law is that it also enables one to understand better the institutions and ideas of those British citizens of French origin who occupy so important a position in Canada, Mauritius and elsewhere.
