(priv.), marbled fawn basane, ornate ribbed spine. First edition of the best-known work by Etienne Souchet (1731-1824), a lawyer at the Angoulême presidial, in which he restores order and method to custom, denigrating any legal weight to the usage qualified as science by ill-educated patricians or stubborn villagers.
