Civil Code
☞ thus far leave with commencement
of the fifth
At the opening of a Civil or say Rights Conferring
Code, the first thing for consideration is the order in
which the matter of it shall be disposed.
The order of time will, on this occasion, take
the lead and serve for guidance.
In the first place then, will come to be considered

acquired & brought into existence: in the next place,
the manner in which some are extinguished,

they are possessed, and a correspondent set of obligations
by the absence or presence of which they are
created.
