Recueil général des lois et actes du gouvernement d'Haïti, Tome VIII (1843-1845)

Volume VIII of the Recueil général des lois et actes du gouvernement d'Haïti covers 1843 to 1845 in 568 pages. The series was assembled by S. Linstant, who later signed as Linstant Pradine, a former chargé d'affaires of Haiti in London and Paris, and this volume was edited by Emmanuel Edouard. The acts appear in chronological order. From Tome III the title page adds historical, jurisprudential and concordance notes, so a reader can see what each act amends and how courts read it. Later volumes were compiled and published by decision of the Conseil des Secrétaires d'État. This volume carries proclamations of the revolutionary and post-revolutionary governments, municipal proclamations, the decree reducing the territorial tax on logwood and the decree granting emoluments to magistrates.
