[591] See chap, viii, sec. i; and consult GLASSON, _Le mar. civil et le divorce_, 210 ff., 232-51. [592] On the revolutionary legislation regarding marriage and divorce (1792-1816) see NAQUET, _Le divorce_ (Paris, 1877), 37-56, 153-353, containing extracts from the debates, text of the laws, reports, and other documents; _Archives parlementaires_, XXVI, 166-86, giving the report on the proposed civil marriage law; WRIGHT, _Report_, 1004-6, presenting summaries of the laws; CHAMPION, "La revolution et la réforme de l'état civil," _La révolution française_, June 14, 1887; COLFAVRU, "La question du divorce devant les législateurs de la révolution," _ibid._, March 14, 1884; KOENIGSWARTER, _Histoire de l'organisation de la famille en France_, 268 ff.; GLASSON, _Le mar. civil et le divorce_, 252-75; LEGRAND, _Le mariage et les mœurs en France_, 196-99; DURRIEUX, _Du divorce_, 99 ff.; FÉVAL, _Pas de divorce_, 74 ff.; FIAUX, _La femme, le mariage, et le divorce_, 25 ff.; VRAYE AND GODE, _Le divorce et la séparation du corps_, I, 7-26; BERTILLON, _Étude démographique du divorce_, 89 ff.; and in general LASAULX, _Uebereinstimmung der französischen Ehetrennungsgesetze mit Gotteswort_ (Koblenz and Hadamar, 1816). A powerful influence on revolutionary opinion must have been exerted by the remarkable _Contrat conjugal_, published in 1781, again in 1783, and in German translation in 1784, which advocated civil marriage and free divorce, while attacking the ecclesiastical system of impediments and dispensations. The revolutionary ideas regarding divorce are also vigorously presented by HENNET, _Du divorce_ (3d ed., Paris, 1792); and by BOUCHOTTE, _Observations sur le divorce_ (Paris, 1790). On the other hand, the divorce law of 1792 is criticised and divorce opposed by MADAME NECKER, _Réflexions sur le divorce_ (Paris, 1792; Lausanne, 1794); as in _Du divorce_ (Paris, 1801), 1 ff., by BONALD, who opposed the law of 1803 and secured its repeal in 1816. See PÈRE DANIEL'S _Le mariage chrétien et le Code Napoléon_ (Paris, 1870); and for an examination of the literature of the period, TISSOT, _Le mariage, la séparation, et le divorce_, 174 ff., 180 ff., 196 ff., 211 ff., 222 ff.
