This section brings together two distinct families. On one hand, general collections of laws, decrees, and ordinances published by the administration of the Journal des Notaires et des Avocats, which serially cover successive regimes, from the reign of Louis-Philippe to the Second Empire. On the other hand, treatises on political economy, from Henri Truchy's Cours d’économie politiqueto works on foreign exchange and the gold question, which document French economic thought before Keynes. An older piece deserves mention for the regional angle of the collection: Les coustumes generales du pays et vicomté de Sole, printed in Pau in 1760, which establish the Souletin customary law inherited from its attachment to France in 1512. As a member of SLAM, we systematically verify the completeness of series before cataloging, a critical point for this type of collection, often mismatched among colleagues. thought and religionencompasses the entire universe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an incomplete old collection of laws have value?

Much less than a complete series. We systematically verify the continuity of volumes before purchase, as a mismatched collection loses most of its documentary interest.

Are 19th-century treatises on political economy still of interest to readers?

Yes, for their documentary value on a discipline in formation. Some titles, such as those on the gold question, are still cited in economic history.
