Footnotes

The five Tocqueville titles are: 'Rapport... sur le cours de droit administratif de M. Macarel', 1846; 'Rapport... sur deux écrits... du monopole des sels... de la preuve judiciaire', 1846; 'Discours prononcé à la séance publique annuelle', 1851; 'Discours prononcé à la séance publique annuelle', 1852; 'Rapport sur un ouvrage de M. Th. Sedgwick, intitulé A Treatise on the Rules', 1858 (published in OC, vol. 16, pp.185-209, 226-47). On the last item Brogan comments, "it was the last piece of writing that AT published. In it he concentrates on explaining the unfamiliar practice of judicial supremacy with all the masterly lucidity of the 1835 Democratie. Modern editions would do well to include it as an appendix" (p.613).
