Excerpt from The Civil Code of Brazil
There were four unsuccessful attempts at codification of the Brazilian civil law made before the final eflort was crowned with brilliant success. By Decree of De cember 22, 1858, it was ordered that the Minister of J us tice should contract with a jurist of his choice for the preparation of a project for a Civil Code. On January 11, 1859, the work was entrusted to the eminent jurist Teixeira de Freitas, to whom the Imperial Government, on February 15, 1855, had already entrusted the arduous task of consolidation of the civil laws preparatory to the intended codification. The result of the long protracted labors of this jurist was what he himself submitted, not as a project but as a Sketch, consisting of Articles, and even then unfinished, as it left untouched the entire Book III, the very important subject Of Obligations. The excessive work contributed to unset tle the mind of this, the greatest civilist of South Amer ica, and thus the first attempt came to a sad end.
In 1872 the work was entrusted to the Councillor Na buco de Araujo, the same who, as Minister of Justice in 1859, had contracted it with Dr. De Freitas. The new codifier died shortly afterwards, having drafted but 182 Articles, with no plan outlined for the distribution of the matters to comprise the work. The work carried him unhappily to his grave.
