Recueil general des lois et actes du Gouvernement d‘Haiti, depuis la proclamation de son indépendance jusqu’a nos jours’ Le tout mis en ordre et publié. Avec des notes historiques de jurisprudence, et de concordance: title varies, par M. Linstant Pradine, Vol. 1-8, 1804-1888, Paris, for V. 1-6, August Durand, 1851-81, and for V. 7-8, Pedone-Lauriel, 1888. (The major portion of this retrospective compilation of laws and governance-related documents was the work of Baron S. Linstant Pradine, sometime Secretary-General of the Haiti Ministry of Justice, and later Ambassador to both Paris and London. Although, due to his death in 1884, he did not edit V. 7-8, the set is often referred to as “Pradine’s.” Volumes 7-8 were completed by Emmanuel Edouard, and published by Pedone-Lauriel. A supplement for materials from 1838-39 left out of Pradine’s V. 6 {publ. 1881} is bound in at the front of the print version of V. 7 {publ. 1888}. To avoid confusion online, this V.6 Supplement is grouped with V.6. Finally, in 1886 the publishers Durand and Pedone-Lauriel jointly issued a “Second Edition” of Pradine’s V.1. Except for very minor pagination differences in the preface, this “Second edition” otherwise appears to be purely a reprint of the original 1851 V.1. However, for historical completeness, LLMC provides both the 1851 and the 1888 versions of V.1 online, in that order. Users can decide which version fits their citation. The documents in this full set are arranged in chronological order. Coverage is as follows: V.1-1804-08, a Chronological Table starts at p.xvii; V.2, 1809-17, CT follows p.380; V.3, 1818-23, CT follows p.640; V.4, 1824-26, CT starts at p.i; V.5, 1827-33, CT follows p.496; V.6, 1834-39, CT follows p.559; V.6-Supp., 1838-39, CT follows p.154; V.7, 1840-43, CT follows p.383; V.8, 1843-45, CT follows p.530. The entire text is in French.)
