Flaust, John Baptiste
. If a man deserves to be
celebrated who employs fifty years on one work, the name
of Flaust should not be omitted. He was an advocate in
the parliament of Rouen, and his great work was entitled
“Explication de la Jurisprudence et de la coutume de
Normandie, dans une ordre simple et facile.” “Explication of the Jurisprudence and Usage of Normandy, in an
easy and simple order.” In 2 vols. folio. He died in 1783,
at the age of seventy-two. 2
