Guidon de la Mer, The. Published by Cleirac, in Les Us et The author of this somewhat famous work is unknown. It was compiled for the use of merchants at Rouen, about the year 1556, and it is one of the earliest treatises upon insurance, bottomry, and average. It contains the fundamental doctrines upon these subjects as they prevail at the present day, and may be regarded as a supplement to the Roles d'Oleron, though the former never acquired such authority out of France as the latter. The subject of Le Guidon was incorporated in the French ordinance of 1681. Cleirac's Commentary is much esteemed, but Pardessus' edition is, in several respects, to be preferred."-7 N. A.
