Published the year of the original edition by Renaudière containing the entire Civil Code as well as its supplement. 

The French Civil Code, promulgated by the law of 30 Ventôse year XII (21 March 1804), received the name of Code Napoléon by law in 1807. This name, which was taken from the charters of 1814 and 1830, was given to it by a decree of 1852, “to pay homage to historical truth”.

Effectively developed under the impetus of Bonaparte, First Consul, the Code Napoléon was highly influential. Through the conceptions that governed its drafting, it remains the very essence of the modern code, although many of its articles have been changed and others are outdated. It is understandable that Napoleon would have said on St. Helena: "My true glory is not to have won forty battles; Waterloo will erase the memory of so many victories. What nothing will erase, what will live on forever, is my Civil Code.”
