- Notes: "Thirteen years after Louisiana was admitted as a state, there was promulgated in 1825 the Civil Code of Louisiana -- the first, the best and the most famous of all American codes"-- Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University, page 72. Livingston's revision of the Napoleonic code would remain the core of Louisiana's legal system into the 20th century. The New Orleans printings in both French and English are quite scarce. Sabin 41613; Jumonville 460.
