1. THE CRIMINAL CODE ADOPTED BY THE AUSTRIAN POLICE FOR MAJOR TRANSGRESSIONS
Gesetzbuch uber Verbrechen und schwere Polizey-Uebertretungen. Zweyte Auflage, mit angerhangten neueren Vorschriften. Wien: aus der kais. kon. Hof- und Staats-Aerarial-Druckerey, 1815.

The Austrian Empire (or simply: Austria) (in Austrian - German: Kaiserthum Oesterreich) was created out of the realms of the Habsburgs by proclamation in 1804. It was a multinational empire and one of the world's great powers. Proclaimed in response to the First French Empire, it overlapped with the Holy Roman Empire until the latter's dissolution in 1806. It included in its territory the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia. The Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 elevated Hungary's status within the Austrian Empire, creating a new dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary.
Provenance: Private library of a Verona noble family, whose roots are in Mantua and in which there were distinguished lawyers and jurists.
This book was purchased by Monsieur Castellani in 1837 together with another book in this auction (Burgerliches gesetzbuch), as for the invoice inserted as a free leaf in that book.
