Bouvier's Law Dictionary is a set consisting of two or three books with a long tradition in the United States legal community. The first edition was written by John Bouvier. John Bouvier (1787–1851) was born in Codognan, France, but came to the United States at an early age. He became a U.S. citizen in 1812, was admitted to the bar in 1818, and began practicing law in Philadelphia. During his years of practice and study, he noticed the lack of a solid American law dictionary. He decided to fill this need, and worked on a new law dictionary incessantly for 10 years. One of his main goals was to distinguish American law from its English antecedent. He finally presented it for publication in 1839. Like many of his generation, Bouvier used his preface to justify his work, stating the irrelevan

  • Bouvier's Law Dictionary is a set consisting of two or three books with a long tradition in the United States legal community. The first edition was written by John Bouvier. John Bouvier (1787–1851) was born in Codognan, France, but came to the United States at an early age. He became a U.S. citizen in 1812, was admitted to the bar in 1818, and began practicing law in Philadelphia. During his years of practice and study, he noticed the lack of a solid American law dictionary. He decided to fill this need, and worked on a new law dictionary incessantly for 10 years. One of his main goals was to distinguish American law from its English antecedent. He finally presented it for publication in 1839. Like many of his generation, Bouvier used his preface to justify his work, stating the irrelevance of English legal dictionaries to the American legal system of the United States. He wanted to create a totally new law dictionary that would address the American legal system, so he derived his definitions almost wholly from customs, court decisions, and statutes of the United States. From his preface: "…most of the matter in the English law dictionaries will be found to have been written while the feudal law was in its full vigor, and not fitted to the present times, nor calculated for present use, even in England. And there is a great portion which, though useful to an English lawyer, is almost useless to the American student. What, for example, have we to do with those laws of Great Britain which relate to the person of their king, their nobility, their clergy, their navy, their army; with their game laws; their local statutes, such as regulate their banks, their canals, their exchequer, their marriages, their births, their burials, their beer and ale houses, and a variety of similar subjects?"[1] In addition, Bouvier included entries for all the states that had formed the union as of 1839. A large 2-volume work, Bouvier's dictionary has been especially useful for understanding obsolete terms given in older authorities, amplifying their meanings in the American context. The dictionary quickly became popular and received excellent reviews. The book is well written and extensively researched; Bouvier made significant contribution to each new edition and rewrote several articles. Many well known legal scholars have contributed to its revisions. Bouvier published three editions in twelve years and was preparing a fourth at the time of his death in 1851. By the year 1886, when it was first revised, there had been fifteen editions. The work is still widely used. Volumes of the early edition are considered collector items and a pristine set can fetch hundreds of dollars. (en)
  • O Dicionário de Direito de Bouvier é um livro com uma longa tradição da comunidade jurídica nos Estados Unidos. A primeira edição foi escrita por . John Bouvier (1787-1851) nasceu em Codogno, na França, mas foi para os Estados Unidos ainda muito jovem. Ele tornou-se cidadão estudaniense em 1812 e foi admitido noum bar em 1818, começando a trabalhar em Direito, na Filadélfia. Durante os seus anos de prática e estudo, ele percebeu a falta de um dicionário sobre a lei americana. Como qualquer bom empresário, ele decidiu colmatar essa necessidade, e trabalhou num novo dicionário, incessantemente, durante 10 anos. Uma de suas principais metas foi distinguir a lei americana, da sua antepassada, a inglesa. Ele é finalmente apresentado para publicação em 1839. Tal como muitos da sua geração, Bouvier utilizou o seu prefácio para justificar o seu trabalho, afirmando a irrelevância dos dicionários jurídicos ingleses para o sistema legal americano. Ele pretendia criar um dicionário sobre a nova lei americana, que iria abordar o sistema jurídico. Do seu prefácio: Além disso, Bouvier incluiu todas as entradas para os estados que tinham formado, a partir de 1839, o sindicato. O segundo volume do dicionário foi especialmente útil para a compreensão obsoleta, sobre a autoridade, amplificando o seu significado no contexto americano. O dicionário rapidamente se tornou popular e obteve excelentes críticas. O livro está bem escrito e exaustivamente pesquisado; Bouvier fez uuma contribuição significativa para cada nova edição e reescreveu vários artigos. Muitos estudiosos bem conhecidos do mundo legal, têm contribuído para as suas revisões. Bouvier publicou três edições em doze anos e estava preparando para um quarto no momento da sua morte, em 1851. Até 1886, quando foi pela primeira vez revista, tinha havido quinze edições. O trabalho ainda é amplamente utilizado. Uma edição dos primeiros volumes, contendo todo o conteúdo intacto, pode ser comprada por centenas de dólares. (pt)
