Of all the French writers upon Commercial Law, Emerigon holds the first rank. His writings and his reputation are not confined to France alone, for the jurists of Great Britain and the United States have equally derived assistance from his labors, and have borne their united testimony to his great ability, learning, and diligence. Lord Ellenborough says, " who has equalled Emerigon as a theoretical and practical writer on the Law of Insurance? He has exhausted every topic, so far as materials were within his reach; and upon all new questions his work, for illus- tration, and authorities, and usages, is still unrivalled." Chancellor Kent has spoken with equal warmth and truthfulness of Emerigon, for he re- marks, that his treatise "very far surpasses all preceding works in the extent, value, and practical application of his principles. It is the most didactic, learned, and finished production extant on the subject. He pro- fessedly carried his researches into the antiquities of the maritime law, and illustrated the ordinances by what he terois the jurisprudence of the tribunals ; and he discusses all incidental questions, so as to bring within the compass of his work a great portion of international and commercial law connected with the doctrines of Insurance. In the language of Lord Tcnterden, no subject in Emerigon is discussed without being exhausted, and the eulogy is as just as it is splendid." 5 M. & Sel. 436 ; 20 N. A.
