L’organisation de la famille, selon le vrai modèle signalé par l’histoire de toutes les races et de tous les temps. Avec trois appendices.
First edition. This is one of the most important of the group of later works in which Le Play applied the empirical research he used for Les ouvriers européens (1855) to more specific subjects (see also the work above). In La famille Le Play analyzes books of accounts and budgets kept by families. There are two appendices by other authors, ‘La famille-souche du Lavedan’ by M. E. Cheysson, and ‘La réforme du Code Civil selon les jurisconsultes des pays a famille-souche’ by Claudio Jannet.
