New edition of the work that Lange had published approximately half a century earlier under the name of Gastier, prosecutor at the parliament, and which originally bore the title "Praticien français". Quérard gives the 1755 edition, the last edition, and remarks: "The various intermediate editions underwent considerable modifications; those of 1699 and 1702 were given by Denis Simon, who added observations on various matters. After the author's death, two manuscript works found among his papers were added, one on the Right of indult; the other on Ecclesiastical jurisprudence". Title page in red and black.
