§. 3. Matter of the Civil Code

Some how the eye of a legislator
carried itself over the chaos

Relation between Pain &
law not held up
to view

Bonaparte's Codes. By From reference made to this by for the most
aptly constructive as well as most amply comprehensive body of law
mankind has yet seen, this subject can not but receive light
in quantity more or less considerable. But the day was thus
too early: the idea of an all-comprehensive Code hotel
not itself to the eyes of Bonaparte.

Of the subject matter above brought to view employed inserted
in the Civil Code are the following: occupying the number
of pages and articles following.

Considered declaredly as sources of benefit
1. Persons. Persons being moreover considered as partakers of benefit
benefit, of benefit in the shape in question on each occasion mentioned. Pages
78, to wit f to wit
from 3 to 80 inclusive. Articles
508 to wit from 7
to 515.(a)
2. Things: so far as concerns Goods and modification of pages.

But in his enumeration of things Goods things incorporeal are
not to be found. Yet fictitious entities as they are, subject matter
both of conveyance and agreement are things incorporeal to
wit as corporeal.

All goods (Tous les biens) he says are moveable or
immoveable. Yes True: so all things real are whether sources of
good or evil, are. Not the less for being fictitious entities
do things incorporeal demand mention for the pen of the legislator.
For money and moneys worth are things real: and
and in cases to a large extent without mention made of the correspondent things fictitious, neither
conveyance nor binding agreement can in relation to
them be made. Witness Government Annuities or Shares or
Joint Stock Companies. Persons are Rights and Powers of all
sorts where ideas by mental abstraction separated from the
several real entities persons or things or persons and things, which separately or
collectively are their respective
seats and sources.

Note (a) for § Form
(a) What follows to be entered under Ch. 2. Form. In Bonaparte's
Codes the Articles follow one another from beginning to end:
no possibility being the consequence is no possibility is left for
interpretation for the insertion or abrogation of any an article
without rendering erroneous the references to all the others. The
more numerous the subdivisions one and or another, the
more effectually is the reductions effected being the all inconvenience from continually succeeding successive
amendments.
