"Though our Legislature has endeavoured to codify a certain number of our Ordinances, whenever a favourable opportunity has presented itself, and through the work of my predecessor was a sort of Ariadne's clue in the maze of our Local Ordinances and of the French Civil and Penal Codes, English Statutes, Bankruptcy Laws, Orders in Council, International Laws and Treaties, etc. applicable to Mauritius, several years have elapsed since his last publication, and the difficulties, once overcome, have in a great measure, again cropped up. I have, therefore, considered that the preparation of a General Index was very desirable at the present time.": Preface [iii]. OCLC locates 1 copy.
