Traité des Obligations was published in 1761.
François Xavier Martin, 1762-1846, printer and lawyer, was born in France. He was the printer as well as the translator of this book, and, according
to Professor Edward Larocque Tinker, is said to have “propped up the French text on the type case and translated it directly
into type in his composing stick.”
