‎Loiseau Jean Simon‎

‎Cause celebre. Enfant egare dans la Vendee. Plaidoyer pour L.R.A. Voyneau fils dragon du 15e regiment contre L.A.F. Voyneau son frere‎

‎Paris: Aux Archives du Droit Francais 1808. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. 8vo. 4 47 1 pp. Original printed wrappers edges a little frayed. In the development of the Code Civil the extraordinary "Voyneau Affair" has fourfold significance. It tested in the French Supreme Court the relationship between national adoption and parental authority; established legal precedence in the rights of French war refugees in exile; explored the definition of the "tierce opposition" procedure; and assessed the limits of the concept of "civil death." The case has been frequently utilized by legal scholars to illustrated the elasticity of the Code Civil. <br/><br/>The present pamphlet is Jean-Simon Loiseau's "beautifully composed" argument on behalf of L.-R.-A. Auguste Voyneau b. 1789. As an infant Auguste disappeared during the Terror in the Vendee region and in 1795 was pronounced dead. Shortly thereafter it was determined that the infant had in fact been rescued among the corpses of a destroyed village and taken to Nantes. In 1796 a former servant of the Voyneau family encountered the young boy and thought she recognized him or at least claimed to recognize him from a telltale scar on his forehead. "Madame Voyneau however refused to accept that the boy was her son. She insisted that the child was actually the son of a poverty-stricken miller and the center of an elaborate plot to introduce an 'intruder' into her family and thus deprive them of the money that Auguste or the would-be Auguste would eventually inherit from his parents" Heuer p. 153.<br/><br/>After a thorough investigation the court of Nantes ruled that the boy was in fact her son. In the absence of her husband Auguste Voyneau who had fled the Revolution in 1789 and was then living in exile Madame Voyneau appealed the ruling which was rejected by the judges of the court of Fontenay and she was ordered to pay a restitution of 700 francs. <br/><br/>The Senatus-Consulte of 6 Floreal An X granted amnesty to the elder Auguste Voyneau who then returned to France and contested these judgments by means of a "tierce opposition" based on the fundamental importance of paternal rights and authority. The plaintiff argued that having been granted amnesty he had been "reborn" to his country and family and yet was being prohibited by the courts from exercising an essential right of a citizen and father namely to acknowledge or deny that a child was his own. "Voyneau continued to maintain that paternal rights being natural and inalienable took precedence over the formal penalties that had been imposed on emigres" Heuer p. 154. <br/><br/>On July 23 1806 the Court of Appeal in Poitiers ruled that Voyneau's "rebirth" as a French citizen did not restore him to the position of a "pere de famille" with complete power over his family since "the rights acquired by a wife or children of an amnestied man during his civil death belong to them irrevocably." Because Voyneau had gone into exile he could not contest sovereign judgments because he was "legally dead" to the State. Secondly in his absence his "widow" had brought together in a court of law the rights of both maternity and paternity and had lost the case on appeal; therefore the "tierce opposition" strategy was not permissible to him. However if Voyneau had not returned to France his daughter could have formed the third party against the judgment and the "tierce opposition" could have been employed in a separate case. <br/><br/>"The thwarted 'pere' then took his case to the Supreme Court where the case was tried in 1808. Jean-Simon Loiseau one of the chief compilers and editors of the jurisprudence of the Code Civil and the author of the present 'Plaidoyer' represented Voyneau's ostensible son Auguste. He argued that before the amnesty M. Voyneau had been neither a father nor a French citizen: 'In the eyes of the law he was not a father a husband or a citizen; he was dead for his children for his family as for his country.' Louiseau's argument directly echoed the rationale presented by the makers of the Code Civil for dissolving the marriages of those proclaimed to be civilly dead."<br/><br/>M. Voyneau and his lawyers invoked the specter of "National Adoption" arguing that if as an emigre he was stripped of his rights as father and citizen the Republic -- and not his wife -- should have represented him since the state had "adopted" the child during his absence. The idea that the state could and should literally act as the father of its adopted children was ridiculed by Loiseau in the present pamphlet but ultimately the elder Voyneau was victorious. Four days after Louiseau's argument was presented the Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision declaring that Voyneau "retained the right to defend the condition of a child born of his marriage" and thus to reject a child believed to be "an impostor." In concluding that Voyneau could not disown a child he did not recognize as his son the Supreme Court ruled that the lower court had falsely applied the amnesty provided by the Senatus-Consulte of 6 Floreal An X. Not surprisingly the case dragged on for two more years. "After rehashing extensive testimony about the boy's physical appearance especially his eye color and the exact placement of his scar the court ruled that the evidence did indeed indicate a plot to introduce an intruder into the Voyneaus' home. The supposed Auguste was not their child" Heuer p. 155. <br/><br/>Rare: OCLC lists only two copies worldwide McGill and BnF to which CCFr adds only two others Nantes BM Poitiers BM. Querard I 337 lists only the equally rare 1809 reprint only. <br/><br/>¶ LITERATURE: The significance of this case has been explored in considerable detail by Jennifer Ngaire Heuer in her "The Voyneau Affair and the 'National Adoption'" in: The Family and the Nation: Gender and Citizenship in Revolutionary France Cornell University Press 2007 pp. 153-158.

‎Five Thousand Miles Around the Southern Cross. A Popular Review of Life and Customs in Cuba Jamaica Colombia Costa Rica Mexico and Ancient Yucatan with a Survey of the Great Panama Canal‎

‎Camden New Jersey: The Long Photographic Art Studios 1912. Very good. Inscribed by the author on the ffep. 12¼" x 9½". Blue cloth gilt. pp. 43 four interspersed plates containing a map a chart and three original photographs. Very good: light wear that is stronger at spine tips and corners a few minor stains.<br /> <br /> This is a finely produced travelogue documenting the sites and peoples of several different Latin American countries. According to the book's forward the author created it because<br /> <br /> "The Panama Canal . . . should be the means of drawing this entire Western Hemisphere into closer bonds of commercial and social intercourse. Our neighbors . . . regret that their brothers of the United States do not understand them as they deserve to be understood . . . Let us not forget that they number nearly one hundred million strong and they and their respective countries are rapidly forging to the front ranks of modern nations. The opening of the Panama should be a day of rejoicing for the peoples of the Three Americas." <br /> <br /> Per the title over three months Long traveled to the listed countries and recorded detailed descriptions of each town or city he visited; he also provided brief histories of each country. In Cuba he spent time in Matanzas and Santiago as well as providing this description of Havana<br /> <br /> "visitors seem transported as they note the carefree throngs that eat drink and make merry in the brilliant cafes and places of amusement along the broad and handsome Prado . . . streets in the old section are exceedingly narrow . . . The metropolis contains several modern office buildings which appear like skyscrapers from the alleyways below and the mansions of the wealthy especially along the Malecon are homes of splendor. On the other hand the one-story dwellings of the working classes are devoid of ornamentation the iron barred windows giving them the appearance of penal institutions." <br /> <br /> From Cuba Long went to Jamaica where in Montego Bay "women display far more animation than men driving carts wheeling barrows hawking long ropes of tobacco and smoking big black cigars with the sang froid of a veteran." Next was Columbia with a first stop in Barranquilla with this lyrical description of the end of siesta "at the stroke of six the sunset gun sends forth its booming notes and with an hour the Zocala fills with people . . . Along the plaza they stroll and chat the señors emitting great clouds of the noxious weed the demoiselles flashing glances of Andalusian hue. They are of every rank and every class . . ." He also spent several pages describing Bogota.<br /> <br /> In Costa Rica he was impressed by San Jose "it is not hyperbole to say that there are but few cities of the same size that display more animation or progressiveness we find in San Jose." He briefly discussed Punta Arenas before heading to Mexico where he spent a couple of pages on Mexico City and Cuernavaca respectively while also providing much detail on rail travel in the country. There are short passages on Jalapa Orizaba and the last several pages are devoted to descriptions of Mayan ruins in the Yucatan peninsula.<br /> <br /> Also of note are the plates which include three original black and white photographs as well as a map of the Isthmus of Panama with the completed canal. The photos include a Cuban tobacco field and a view of the canal from the Gatun Dam.<br /> <br /> OCLC locates four copies over two entries; one has 17 plates the other has 15. With ours a third variant we imagine Long issued these books based on the number of photos or maps he had on hand. A rare travelogue documenting the sights and peoples of several Latin American countries and embellished with original photographs. The Long Photographic Art Studios unknown‎
