A continuation of sorts of the Journal du Palais in which decrees of note were collected and recorded. "It was well received, and Augeard afterwards employed himself in collecting many decisions which had previously escaped his notice with the intention of publishing an improved edition in which he proposed bringing the whole body of decrees into one chronological series. He did not live to carry out this design, but the work appeared in this improved form in 1756 in 2 vols fol. edited by Richer. This new edition contains decrees down to the commencement of the year 1736" (Biographical Dictionary). Item #54421
