First edition of this pioneering and exceptionally rare treatise on the legal rights customary protections and social standing of the early modern rural peasantry. Rene Choppin a celebrated avocat at the Parlement of Paris was a central figure in the 16th-century "Gallican" legal tradition. Alongside contemporary jurists like Jean Bodin and Jean Bacquet Choppin worked to synthesize Roman jurisprudence canon law and regional French customary law into a cohesive national framework under royal authority. In De Privilegiis Rusticorum Choppin produced the first systematic legal work dedicated to agrarian rights. Here "privileges" refers not to aristocratic perks but to statutory legal safeguards designed to protect agricultural workers from predatory creditors excessive taxation and unlawful land seizure. Choppin framed rural labor as vital to the stability of the state arguing that the protection of farmers was essential to national prosperity. The title directly incorporates lines from Virgil's Georgics "O fortunatos nimium sua si bona norint agricolas." illustrating the Renaissance Humanist effort to reconcile classical literary ideals of pastoral life with the grit of 16th-century legal reality. Choppin argued that Justice having abandoned the corrupt cities left her final traces among the rural working class. The Biographie Universelle highlights the treatise for its enduring scholarly weight noting that it "deserves notice for the singularity of its subject" and its "profound research."

1899rif. 2554Chicago and New York: Herbert S. Stone and Co 1899. First edition. Original binding. Very Good. RARE FIRST EDITION OF CHOPIN'S GROUNDBREAKING NOVEL; A FOUNDATIONAL FEMINIST WORK. "No other American book was so maligned neglected for so long and then embraced so quickly and with such enthusiasm as Kate Chopin's 1899 novel The Awakening. And none has been so thoroughly redeemed as The Awakening. Thought vulgar morbid and disturbing in Chopin's time it has for the past quarter of a century been seen as sensitive passionate and inspiring. Forgotten for two generations it is today known by countless people in dozens of countries and Kate Chopin has become among the most widely read of classic American authors" Bernard Koloski Awakenings. Chopin's "works are widely taught at universities and have been the subject of considerable critical attention. The Awakening has been translated into several languages. Chopin is now seen as a pioneer of both American realism and feminist consciousness. To a degree that was ahead of her time she rejected both conservative and liberal didacticism and discarded traditional assumptions in an attempt to depict honestly and emphatically the inner life of women" American National Biography Online.
